Trinity Graduate School and Trinity College offer a dual Bachelor of Arts/Master of Arts Degree that pairs an MA in Bioethics with an undergraduate degree in any major. This opportunity is open to qualified students in any undergraduate major but may have special appeal for students with the following majors or interests: premedical, prehealth, psychology, philosophy, law, public policy, communications, theology, business, Christian ministries, and education.
In this program, an undergraduate student may earn a graduate degree as early as the summer following the senior year by taking graduate-level courses beginning the junior year. Nine hours of course work from the MA counts toward the BA, reducing the required hours for the BA from 126 to 117. These 9 overlapping hours are taken as part of the undergraduate load resulting in a savings of graduate tuition. Graduate course work is begun in the summer after the junior year, allowing completion of both the BA and the MA as early as the summer following the senior year.
Qualified applicants must have a Trinity GPA of 3.0 on a 4.0 scale or 70 hours of undergraduate course work. Students may apply for acceptance to the Dual Degree through the Trinity Graduate School and a positive recommendation from their academic advisor. Transfer students may apply for the program if they have a 70 hours of undergraduate course work and a positive recommendation from a former professor or their academic advisor and a 3.0 GPA for all transferred college work and 3.0 in Trinity coursework. Students are advised to apply to the program as early as possible to allow for expedient course planning and to assure that overlapping course requirements can be planned and scheduled.
Each spring semester, students are invited to participate in the series of three evening bioethics colloquia.
