More About the Program
Bioethics in Glendale
Explore ethical issues facing health care professionals.
Designed to enhance your on-going career development in another professional field or practice, the interdisciplinary MWU bioethics program helps you learn to balance the complex challenges of our extended life span and our amazing scientific advancement.
You'll look at real-world problems and potential solutions with a diverse group of professionals, and you'll examine the process of making ethical decisions about health care practice and patient care. You'll join students from many backgrounds — social work, law, health care, the clergy — who struggle with challenging dilemmas every day and who must make critical decisions.
We want to help you in your quest. MWU degree options include a master of arts, a professional certificate, and a dual-degree plan. If you're a part-time student, you'll appreciate our flexible weekend and evening class schedules.
Learn more about bioethics as a career.
