Dual Degree Program

The first program of its type in the country, the Reproductive Science and Medicine/Medical Humanities and Bioethics dual-degree will provide students with the foundational and advanced knowledge in human reproductive biology and medicine, while also exploring medicine and its ethical implications through the perspectives of anthropology, literature, philosophy, history, and law. RSM students have frequently taken individual MHB courses due to personal interest. With the advent of this dual-degree program, RSM students can now join medical students and genetic counseling students and pursue the MA in Medical Humanities & Bioethics concurrently with their primary program. An MS/MA dual-degree option will enable interested RSM students to enhance the ethical aspects of their research and further distinguish themselves in their field of study and work.

The program is tailored to MS-RSM students on the thesis track who wish to enhance and explore the ethical aspects of their research and further distinguish themselves in their primary field of study and work.
