Why an online program in bioethics?
 

Bioethics is an innovative new field. Whether you are a health care professional, lawyer, clergyperson, academic, or advanced student, formal knowledge of bioethics is increasingly important. Similarly, health care institutions in the U.S. and around the world need professionals who can analyze ethics cases and policies, facilitate ethical decision-making, and effectively teach colleagues and students. 


To meet this need, the Neiswanger Institute for Bioethics and Health Policy started in 2002 the Online MA Program in Bioethics and Health Policy. The Online MA program builds on the success of the traditional on-campus MA program in health care ethics offered by the Department of Philosophy, Loyola University Chicago.

Key features of our online MA program in bioethics:
 

  • Access: Provides the flexibility to meet your needs as a busy professional, anyplace, anytime. 

  • State of the art technology: Utilizes the latest instructional web-based techniques to offer a pedagogically innovative graduate program.

  • Multidisciplinary approach: Emphasizes the clinical, legal, philosophical, social science and spiritual aspects of health-care delivery and policy.

  • Quality: Offers a sophisticated and rigorous approach to studying bioethics.

  • Faculty and Student Involvement: Provides a high level of interaction among faculty and students. 
     

The online degree should be seen primarily as a supplemental degree, and does not by itself guarantee job placement in the field of bioethics.
