Bioethics Minor Planning Grid

 

To earn the Bioethics Minor, students must complete six courses from the approved course offerings, including either BIOE 4010 or BIOE 4020 (for students who declare the minor in Fall 2024 or later). Three of these courses must fulfill the following Foundational requirements: Historical, Normative, and Policy & Culture, and three electives.  However, students must also take one course in each of the three required Content Areas, some of which will double count with Foundational Requirement courses. 

Finally, a student may take no more than three courses from one department.  Courses are listed under their primary departments.  If a course is crosslisted with another department, it still counts as being from the primary department.
