New York University Graduate School of Arts and Science Graduate Program in Bioethics 285 Mercer Street, 9th Floor New York, NY 10003-6653 US   Phone: 1-212-992-7999 Fax: 1-212-995-4828   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Master's M.A.-Bioethics On Campus   The Program in Bioethics is part of NYU's Center for Bioethics, based in the Faculty of Arts and Science with close ties with faculty members in clinical and environmental medicine, public and international health, environmental studies and law. In addition, there are visiting fellows who take part in faculty-student conferences and research groups. The program’s principal academic aim is to broaden and conjoin the disciplines of medical ethics and environmental ethics. Although each field has proven especially productive in recent decades, there has been little cross-fertilization. The primary focus of medical ethics has been the life and health of individual hospital patients and clinical research subjects, while environmental ethics has attended to nonhuman populations and their ecosystems. Recently, however, medical ethics has been expanding to include broader issues of environment-relevant public and global health and disease, while environmental ethics now includes health-relevant patterns of consumption, waste, and transportation. Hence, it is timely and mutually illuminating to see how far the standard principles, perspectives, concepts, and concerns in each field can be extended into the other, as well as to formulate new shared supplements. Two core courses and six elective courses from a variety of departments and professional schools are required, as well as a practicum and master's essay. The practicum involves firsthand experience of New York committees, collective projects, and policy or advocacy groups addressing medical or environmental ethical issues. The master's essay is an ethical reflection on this practical experience. Full-time students can complete the degree in a 12-month period, including summer session independent study. Part-time students may take as little as one course a semester.     Accreditation Information: New York University is a member of the Association of American Universities and is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.  # Of Credits Required:   Time To Degree:     Previous Degrees Pre-Requisite Courses International Student Requirements Requirements Qualifying Exam: Minimum Exam Score: GPA or Equivalent: English Proficiency: Research Competency: Clinical Internship:   Work Experience Volunteer Experience Publications Experience Foreign Language Requirement Other Requirements   Cost Per Credit Hour: $   Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:       # of Students Enrolled Full Time:   # of Students Enrolled Part Time:   Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit:   Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition:   Financial Aid Offered:   Average Work Experience: Less than 1 Year  Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year:   Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation:
