Overview
The Bioethics Minor is designed for students to become familiar with the ethical issues surrounding medicine, health care, and other biomedical topics such as abortion, euthanasia, genetic testing, organ donation, scientific research, etc. Bioethics draws on perspectives from other disciplines, and so this program incorporates an interdisciplinary approach by allowing designated courses from other departments, such as Biology, Anthropology, Psychology, and Sociology, to count as partial credit towards the minor.
