神学硕士/生物伦理学硕士

解决对生物技术，医疗保健，生物医学研究和公共卫生至关重要的伦理，社会和政策问题。生物伦理学既是理论的实践，也是实践的能力。它从根本上讲是多学科的，在出现它们的社会和文化背景下解决普遍问题。神学硕士和生物伦理学硕士联合学位课程促进神学和生物伦理学之间的跨学科交流，并为职业目标要求同时具备这两个学科知识和/或能力的学生提供资源。
The Wake Forest University School of Divinity and the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences jointly offer a dual, three-and-a-half-year degree program, Master of Divinity/Master of Arts in Bioethics (MDiv/MA). The program's objective is to facilitate an interdisciplinary conversation between theology and bioethics and to provide resources for students whose vocational aims require knowledge and/or competence in both disciplines. By allowing some divinity courses to count as electives toward the MA degree, as well as allowing some graduate bioethics courses to count among the elective credits permitted within the MDiv curriculum, students are able to earn two advanced degrees in less time than it would take to earn the two degrees separately.<br><br>The dual degree program will save students up to a semester plus a summer of enrollment. A student typically will first complete 2 ½ years of work primarily in the Divinity School. The final two semesters will be completed in the Bioethics Program but with some electives taken in the Divinity School. A student will earn 72 credit hours from the MDiv program, 26 credit hours from the Bioethics Graduate Program (including a 6-credit thesis requirement), and 4 elective credit hours from either program.
