The department offers a nine-credit, six-week immersion program in Tours, France. Students at the intermediate level can complete Wake Forest’s basic language requirement by taking intensive intermediate French (6 credit hours) concurrently with FRH 212 (3 hours). More advanced students can earn credit toward the major or minor in French by completing intensive advanced intermediate conversation and grammar (6 hours) and FRH 216 (3 hours); this program includes weekly lectures by faculty specializing in history, gastronomy, business, political science, or literature. The intensive language courses are taught by professors at the Institut de Touraine; FRH 212 and FRH 216 are taught by the Wake Forest professor, who also serves as the faculty director for the group. The program includes excursions to sites of historical and cultural interest and the opportunity to participate in sports and cultural activities organized by the Institut de Touraine .

Bioethics provides an educational opportunity at the graduate level for current and future professionals and others throughout the country interested in bioethics, including healthcare providers, researchers in biomedicine and the life sciences, lawyers, and professionals in religion, health and research administration, and the biotechnology industry. The goal of the MA in Bioethics is to equip graduates to practice and teach about bioethics as integral to the work of medicine and biotechnology, healthcare, and the basic sciences, and to undertake exemplary bioethics-related research and scholarship. The program encompasses clinical ethics, research ethics, and health policy and administration. The program has two characteristic emphases: bioethics in social context, and bioethics and biotechnology. First, a general emphasis on the social, cultural, and policy contexts that shape all bioethics questions and issues is visible throughout the curriculum. Although the importance of incorporating the humanities, the social sciences, and even the arts may seem obvious, this is not a component of most bioethics education elsewhere. Second, a focus on bioethics and biotechnology takes advantage of Wake Forest University’s strong and growing presence in this area. Research and clinical practice in nanomedicine, genomics, pharmacogenetics, molecular and cell therapies, and the like is ongoing not only here at Wake Forest University but elsewhere in North Carolina. The program has emphases without declaring particular specializations. This is in part because bioethics education is by its nature fundamentally generalist. Students receive broad exposure to ideas, discussion, scholarly literature, and experience, as well as a set of intellectual skills to be developed and practiced widely before being turned into special areas of interest. Students are required to follow the student handbook of the school(s) through which they are enrolled. To continue in a dual or five year program, a student must remain in good academic standing with the respective School (Wake Forest College, Divinity, Law or Medicine) and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. The degree requires 30 credit hours; 24-26 hours of coursework with an average grade of B or above plus either 4 hours of capstone project (BIE 795) OR 6 hours of thesis research (BIE 791/792). All MA students must take BIE 703 (3 hours) and BIE 706/BIE 707 (3 hours). Additionally, all MA students must take two of the three following courses: BIE 702 (3 hours), BIE 704 (3 hours), and BIE 705 (3 hours). The remaining 12-14 hours may be in either 600 or 700 level Bioethics courses. With program permission, up to 6 of those hours may be from non-Bioethics graduate level courses. All work must be completed within six years of the date of initial enrollment in the graduate program. For additional degree requirements, see Requirements for Degrees.

Overview Sponsored by the Wake Forest University School of Divinity and the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences, the MDiv/MA in Bioethics facilitates an interdisciplinary conversation between theology and bioethics and provides resources for students whose vocational aims require knowledge and/or competence in both disciplines. The MDiv/MA can be completed in as little as seven semesters. A student typically completes two and one-half years of work (five semesters) primarily in the School of Divinity. The final two semesters are completed in the Bioethics Graduate Program but with some electives taken in the School of Divinity. Shared courses are dual degree appropriate, selected from a list of courses agreed upon by the School of Divinity and the Bioethics Graduate Program. A MDiv/MA Bioethics student earns 61 credit hours from the Divinity program, 26 credit hours from the Bioethics program (including either 4 credit BIE capstone (BIE 795) or 6-credit BIE thesis requirement (BIE 791/792), and 4-6 elective hours from either program. All students must take BIE 703 (3 hours) and BIE 706/BIE 707 (3 hours). Additionally, students must take two of the three following courses: BIE 702 (3 hours), BIE 704 (3 hours), and BIE 705 (3 hours). For additional degree requirements, see Requirements for Degrees. Admission to the dual degree program is a two-tiered process. Interested students must apply separately to the School of Divinity and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and be accepted for admission by both schools. These applications do not need to be simultaneous, but students should indicate on each application their desire to be considered for the dual degree program. Applications are reviewed separately by each program’s admissions committee. Alternatively, students may submit a separate application to enroll in the dual degree program if already admitted to either School. Typically, students make application to the dual degree program by the time they complete one semester in either School. A joint admissions committee composed of members from both schools makes final admissions decisions. The joint committee also oversees and reviews admissions policies for the dual degree. The Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is optional for applications to the Bioethics Graduate Program. The School of Divinity recommends, but does not require, GRE scores. Students are required to follow the student handbook of the school through which they are enrolled. To continue in the program, a student must remain in good academic standing with both the School of Divinity and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. Back to Top

Overview The Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers a dual degree program, Doctor of Medicine (MD) and Master of Arts in Bioethics (MA). The program’s objective is to facilitate an interdisciplinary and comparative study of bioethics and medicine, and to encourage students whose academic or career interests require gaining competence in both disciplines. Students are able to earn two advanced degrees in less time than it would take to earn the two degrees separately. The dual degree program in bioethics and medicine signals the commitment of both the School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences to interdisciplinary collaboration and learning. By spending their time in both the Medical School and the Bioethics Graduate Program, students benefit not only from an array of course offerings from both curricula, but also from the social and general intellectual life of both academic programs. Students accepted to the MD/MA in Bioethics dual degree program spend four full years in medical school and one year in the Bioethics Program. After completing initial clerkships in third year OR after initial rotations of the fourth year of medical school curriculum, students enroll in the MA in Bioethics program from August-August and then return to the School of Medicine to finish their medical school curriculum. The students in the program will complete their MA in Bioethics and have the MA degree conferred at the conclusion of the time (11 ½ months) in the bioethics program. The Bioethics requirements of the MD/MA in Bioethics dual degree are 24-26 hours of (bioethics) coursework and either 4 hours capstone project (BIE 795) OR 6 hours of bioethics thesis research (BIE 791-792). At least 12 of the 24 hours must be in courses numbered 700 or above. The remaining 12-14 hours may be in either 600 or 700 level courses. All MA students must take BIE 703 (3 hours) and BIE 706/BIE 707 (3 hours). Additionally, all MA students must take two of the three following courses: BIE 702 (3 hours), BIE 704 (3 hours), BIE 705 (3 hours). The remaining 12-14 hours may be in either 600 or 700 level Bioethics courses. With program permission, up to 6 of those hours may be from non-Bioethics graduate level courses. For additional degree requirements, see Requirements for Degrees. Admission to the MD/MA in Bioethics dual degree program is a two-tiered process. Students interested in the program must apply separately to the School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and be accepted for admission by both schools. Application to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences should be made after notifying the appropriate individuals in the School of Medicine to discuss and receive approval for a leave of absence if accepted in the MA in Bioethics Graduate program. The applicant will have already taken the Medical College Admission Test (MCAT). In order to be considered eligible for admission to the dual degree program, the applicant will provide their MCAT scores as part of the Graduate School/bioethics application. Students should consult the prospectuses of both schools for information about tuition and financial assistance. To continue in the program, students must remain in good academic standing under the minimum standards of both the School of Medicine and the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. Back to Top

Overview Under the joint auspices of the Wake Forest University School of Law and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences, the JD/MA in Bioethics facilitates an interdisciplinary and comparative study of law and bioethics and encourages students whose academic or career interests require gaining competence in both disciplines. By allowing some law courses to count as electives toward the MA degree, as well as by allowing some graduate bioethics courses to count among the elective credits permitted within the JD curriculum, students are able to earn the dual degree in less time than it would take to earn the two degrees separately. The student in the JD/MA divides their time between the School of Law and the Bioethics Graduate Program and benefits not only from an array of course offerings from both curricula, but also from the social and general intellectual life of both academic programs. Students may receive the dual degree in as little as seven semesters, usually registering with the School of Law for six semesters and with the Graduate School for at least one semester. The dual degree grants 12 hours of law credit for Bioethics coursework and 6 hours of bioethics credit for law coursework. Typically, students spend their first year full-time in the law school, complete 12 Bioethics hours during their 2nd and 3rd years of law school, and enroll for one semester full-time in the Bioethics program to complete Bioethics coursework plus 4 hours capstone project (BIE 795) OR 6 hours of thesis research (BIE 791/792). All students must take BIE 703(3 hours) and BIE 706/BIE 707 (3 hours). Additionally, all students must take two of the three following courses: BIE 702 (3 hours), BIE 704 (3hours), BIE 705(3 hours). The remaining 6-8 hours may be in either 600 or 700 level Bioethics courses. For additional degree requirements, see Requirements for Degrees. Admission to the dual JD/MA program is a two-tiered process. Students interested in the program must apply separately to the School of Law and the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and be accepted for admission by both schools. These applications do not need to be simultaneous, but they should indicate their intent to be considered for the dual degree program on their respective applications to the School of Law and the Graduate School. Alternatively, students may submit a separate application to enroll in the dual degree program if already admitted to either School. In order to be considered eligible for admission, the JD/MA candidate must complete Law School admission requirements for standardized test (currently, the Law School Admission Test (LSAT) or Graduate Record Examination (GRE)). Final decision about admission to the program is made by a joint committee of the JD/MA program. Students should consult the prospectuses of both schools for information about tuition and financial assistance. To continue in the program, students must remain in good academic standing in both the School of Law and the Graduate School of Arts & Sciences. Back to Top

Creative writing courses are open to minors and non-minors. Students who declare a Creative Writing Minor receive first preference in enrolling in creative writing courses in the English department during pre-registration periods. The Creative Writing minor requires five course (15 hours), including one 300-level literature course offered by the English department. The remaining four courses will consist of Creative Writing workshops offered by the English department (poetry, fiction, literary nonfiction, and the 100-level multi-genre course) or cross-listed with the minor (playwriting and screenwriting); at least two of these must be at the 300-level. While CRW 100 counts towards the minor for students who wish to take this course, it is not required. To enroll in a 300-level workshop, students must have taken a 200-level workshop. English majors may earn a Creative Writing minor by taking four creative writing courses (at least two at the 300-level) exclusive of courses used to complete their major. Course List Back to Top

It is expected that most work toward degrees offered by the Wake Forest University School of Business will be taken in the School of Business. School of Business students are also accountable to overall transfer course/credit limits applying to all undergraduate WFU students summarized in other sections of this Bulletin. In the School of Business, student requests for course transfer are adjudicated by the Undergraduate Business Committee on Academic Affairs (UBCAA). Students with questions regarding transfer course request procedures in their particular major or course of study, or related degree planning needs, should consult with School of Business academic advising staff. For students wishing to request transfer credit from other institutions towards their School of Business degree program, the following general guidelines apply: All approvals for transfer credits from other institutions to the School of Business must be: approved prior to admission into the School of Business for transfer students and will be limited to a maximum of 6 hours or pre-approved before such courses are taken by students who began their college careers at Wake Forest University Courses taken at AACSB accredited schools (or completed abroad in international programs sponsored by AACSB-accredited schools) will be considered for transfer. If a course is taken at an institution that is not AACSB-accredited, and possible transfer credit is deemed applicable by the relevant School of Business approval body, then a validation exam will generally be required in order to be considered for transfer credit. Courses taken elsewhere, in subjects not offered at the School of Business, will not necessarily count toward the hours required in the School of Business. Courses approved for transfer credit that do not have an equivalent course offering in the School of Business may not count toward School of Business degree program requirements. However, such courses may be eligible for general elective business transfer credit. A maximum of two courses (6 hours) may be transferred into School of Business undergraduate program requirements from other institutions. Credit earned through Wake Forest-sponsored study-abroad programs (i.e., WFU Barcelona, London INSTEP) is treated as institutional credit, and it is therefore excluded from the program’s transfer credit hour limitations. Students who begin their college career at Wake Forest University and who are applying to the School of Business must take ACC 111 at Wake Forest University. Students in majors outside of the School of Business, who wish to request transfer credit from other institutions towards general elective requirements in the College of Arts & Sciences, may utilize School of Business procedures for transfer credit review (requiring a review of that course’s description and syllabus).
