Introducing the Nation’s First Master’s with a Specialization in Research Ethics The Bioethics Program now offers a Master of Science in Bioethics with a specialization in Research Ethics. The first program of its kind in the United States, this new Master’s degree gives research professionals the knowledge and skills necessary to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Graduates of the program are uniquely positioned to advance ethical research, educate their peers, and inform and influence the national debate on research design, review, and oversight. Through a combination of on-line courses and on-site practica, students gain an in-depth understanding of the ethical issues behind the rules and regulations that govern research, as well as hands-on experience in applying that knowledge to real-world situations. As a result, students graduate with background and skills they can draw on throughout their careers, whether they design and conduct research studies, develop policies and standards, or administer or oversee large research programs. A Proven Model for Working Professionals The new graduate program in research ethics uses a proven distance-learning model, designed to meet the needs of working professionals who have few opportunities to enroll in on-site courses. Most courses are taught on-line by internationally recognized experts in bioethics. Students also complete an intensive on-site proseminar, competency-based on-line and on-site practica, an on-site capstone assessment, and individualized Master’s projects. The curriculum prepares students both to navigate today’s research enterprise and to help shape future policies and practices. It provides an invaluable perspective—and competitive advantage-for those who design, conduct, or oversee research. That makes the program an excellent option for clinical and social science researchers, program administrators, regulatory and research compliance officers, institutional review board staff, and contract research professionals. Flexible Degree Options The program is designed to be completed in three years, on a part-time basis. However, it can also be completed in one or two years. Typical schedules are as follows:
Courses include: Proseminar in Health & Human Values Biomedical Ethics Health Care Policy Bioethics & the Law Research Ethics I Research Ethics II On-Line Practicum in Research Ethics On-Site Practicum in Research Ethics Master’s Project I Master’s Project II Capstone Students also take one of the following elective courses: Reproductive Ethics, Empirical Research Methods, or Clinical Ethics. A Certificate in Research Ethics The Bioethics Program also offers a Certificate in Research Ethics that can be completed in one academic year. All coursework is done on-line except for a one-week on-site practicum. Certificate candidates complete the following courses: Research Ethics I Research Ethics II On-Line Practicum in Research Ethics On-Site Practicum in Research Ethics |
