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).
