Concentration in Bioethics for Philosophy Majors
Philosophy majors can earn a Bioethics Concentration within the major by completing (along with
the above requirements in the major): (a) Ethical Theory (PHIL 3202) and (b) three bioethics
courses, (i) at least one of which must be an upper-level (3000+) philosophy course, and (ii) no
more than two of which may be offered outside the department and count toward the concentration.
(Non-philosophy courses counted toward the concentration do not count towards the philosophy
major). A list of the current semester’s bioethics courses is available on the Bioethics Minor
Courses page. Questions about the Bioethics Concentration should be directed to the Director of
Undergraduate Studies in Philosophy or the Bioethics Minor Coordinator in the Kennedy Institute
of Ethics.
