Its mission is to provide quality graduate education in bioethics to individuals who, because of the demands of work or obstacles of distance, are unable to participate in campus-based programs. The twelve-course curriculum is based on the Core Competencies for Clinical Ethics Consultation developed by the American Society of Bioethics and Humanities. The program starts with an intensive two-week summer pro seminar on Health and Human Values taught at The Union Graduate College. After completing this seminar students take four core courses online (health policy, bioethics, clinical ethics and health law), supplemented by two elective online courses, a required online practicum, and a two-term masters project. Additionally a clinical ethics practicum, and a one-week capstone seminar are required. Practica and Capstone are now taught at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine of New York City. A student taking four courses per year (one per trimester plus one summer term) should complete the program in three years. Online courses are offered on the Blackboard Platform which students are trained to use during the initial pro seminar.     Accreditation Information:   # 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: 180  # of Students Enrolled Part Time: 234  Average GPA:   Average Test Scores:   Charge Per Credit: $670  Annual Full Time Avg Institution Tuition: $2234  Financial Aid Offered: Yes  Average Work Experience:   Specializations:   # of Terms Per Year: Semester  Placement Percentage:   Historically Black:   Religious Affiliation: Not applicable         Visit Program Website
