This program combines the Master of Arts in Bioethics with the Doctor of Jurisprudence and is offered in cooperation with the School of Law. The program provides excellent preparation for students who desire to practice health law.

Students must apply and be accepted to each program to qualify. New students can apply to both programs simultaneously, or law students may apply before the end of their first year. Students are expected to complete course requirements for the two degrees in either three-and-one half years or three years and two summer school sessions. The curriculum for this dual degree program begins with one year of full-time study in law school. The Department of Bioethics accepts 6 credits of elective law courses toward M.A. elective requirements. The law school accepts 12 credits of the required Foundations in Bioethics I and II courses as law elective credits toward the J.D. degree.
