All successful applicants must have a degree from an accredited four year college or university before beginning the program. Many entering students will also have earned an advanced degree in a related discipline, such as medicine, nursing, law, public health, or theology. Others may combine graduate work in bioethics with other graduate or professional education, resulting in dual degrees.

As part of the online application, upload a scanned transcript from each post-secondary institution you have attended, present school included. (This requirement applies to applicants who are or were enrolled at Emory.)

The transcripts must be issued by the registrar's office. Unofficial copies issued to the student are fine.
We will not accept printed web pages from the University's student information system. If you submit this, the processing of your application may be delayed.
If you want to upload an electronic transcript issued by your registrar's office, make sure we can open that document without passwords or other security information. If your electronic transcript has security features, you can print it, scan it, and then upload the scanned version this will remove security features like passwords or expiration dates.
Please do not send us transcripts, either by mail or email. For your application, we accept only transcripts attached to your online application. Later on, if you are admitted and accept, then you will need to submit official copies (sealed or sent to us directly from a university registrar). Until then, submit only the transcripts you attach to the online application.

Two special considerations apply mainly to international applicants,
Transcripts must be in English, or be accompanied by notarized translations (please upload both the original and the translation, combined into one file).
Applicants with transcripts from international institutions may want to consider submitting credential evaluation reports, some programs strongly encourage such evaluation reports
