Make a study plan that just works for you

While our program provides several frameworks for concentrations, you are free to create your own. Our Medicine, Society, and Culture Concentration and Research Ethics Concentration allow students to deep dive in those areas, but we also encourage you to explore the issues most relevant to your specific interests. We invite you to take advantage of all the opportunities available through CWRU. For instance, our students have taken electives in the med school, law school, and business school as part of shaping their specific educational goals. Additionally, students may consider a dual-degree program. Here is an example of a flexible study plan.
