Bioethics and Theology

专业详情

Candler offers dual degrees with either the Master of Divinity or the Master of Theological Studies and a Master of Arts in Bioethics (MA-Bioethics) in conjunction with the Laney Graduate School. Both programs prepare students for careers in faith-based organizations, patient advocacy or pastoral care in healthcare environments, public healthcare policy, or to pursue advanced studies in bioethics and moral theology.

Candidates for the dual degree program must apply to and be accepted by both Candler and Laney. The schools maintain independent application procedures.

MDiv/MA-Bioethics students typically spend their first year at Candler, their second year at Laney, and then return to Candler for the third and fourth year. During their enrollment in the MDiv program, students will be charged the current rate of tuition at Candler, and when enrolled in the Laney Graduate School, students will be charged the current rate of tuition for the MA-Bioethics Program.

MTS/MA-Bioethics students take courses at Candler and Laney at the same time, however they are typically enrolled at Laney in the first year, and at Candler in the second. Students must register for and pay tuition for two semesters at Laney and two semesters at Candler but may take courses in either school.

School-sponsored scholarships and grants are applicable only to those semesters in which the student is enrolled at the respective schools.
