The MSW/Masters in Bioethics (MBE) is a dual degree program sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy & Practice and the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy at the University of Pennsylvania. The aim of the dual degree program is to prepare students to be leaders in bioethics-related, research-based program and policy venues in the social services, life sciences, and medicine. This dual degree program blends the like missions and values of social work and medicine for equitable service provision, knowledgeable development of ethical policies, and just decision making in the 21st century global environment of rapid technological and social change.
Students will have the opportunity to earn both degrees in two years (two academic years and two summers).
This program is intended to:
- Provide valuable tools for social workers in local, state, and national venues.
- Expand the range of frameworks applicable to decision making in matters of bioethics and social policy and practice.
- Stimulate interdisciplinary collaboration in research, policy making, and implementation.
Degree Completion Requirements
In order for a student to receive both degrees, he or she must complete the independent degree requirements of each program.
For Social Work
- Students must complete 16 CUs for the MSW portion of the degree:
- SWRK 601, 602, 603, 604, 614, 701, 702, 704/708, 714/718, 713, 715, 744 and BIOE 601 and 602, a policy option, and a SWRK elective of their choice (SWRK 760 must be chosen if the student is pursuing the clinical concentration).
For the MBE program:
- Students must complete nine course units toward the MBE portion of the degree. Of these, students take six course units in the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy (BIOE 601, 602, 996, and 3 electives) and three course units at the School of Social Policy & Practice (SWRK 701, 702, and 744).
- Combining non-course requirements from both programs:
- Students have two options after completion of SWRK 744:
- If the final paper for SWRK 744 relates to Bioethics, the student can petition it to count as BIOE 996, the final project for the MBE.
- Students who would like to count SWRK 744 as their MBE final project must submit a Petition for Action and receive approval from the Department of Medical Ethics & Health Policy Director of Education prior to the semester in which the writing is to be done.
- If the student chooses this option, then they may take a BIOE elective instead of BIOE 996
- Alternatively, the topic discussed in SWRK 744 can be built upon and completed as BIOE 996, the final project for the MBE.
