International Bioethics, Social Justice and Health Graduate Certificate Program

The International Bioethics, Social Justice and Health Certificate Program is a graduate level certificate program allowing students an opportunity to integrate the study of international bioethics and social justice mechanisms with the global problem of health disparities.

Admissions

The International Bioethics, Social Justice and Health Certificate Program is available for graduate students, in good standing, already enrolled in any other University of Washington graduate degree programs. Non-matriculated graduate students will be considered for admissions if they are participating in dedicated postgraduate fellowship programs funded by NIH, NSF, and private foundations. For non-matriculated graduate students, entry into the Certificate program is entirely independent of any consideration for entry into a graduate degree program.

Admissions to the certificate program will be considered three times a year in the fall, winter and spring by the Certificate Steering Committee. The deadlines for applications are September 1 (fall quarter), December 1 (winter quarter), and March 1 (spring quarter).
