Minor in Bioethics
EXPLORE THE FIELD OF SCIENCE
This minor allows you to receive a solid foundation in the Church’s bioethical teachings, principles, and reasoning, and how to apply and defend those teachings in the sometimes complicated and confusing encounters of human life. Through real-life case studies that involve consideration of not just theological principles, but medical information, legal realities, and other data as well, students will see the mutual enrichment of the disciplines urged by Ex Corde Ecclesiae at a practical level.
