Bioethics and Medical Humanities/Law

In our dual-degree program, you’ll begin with one year of full-time study in law school,  where you’ll learn from faculty in our top-ranked health law program. In years two and three, you’ll continue your JD education, while adding the bioethics and medical humanities portion of your studies, gaining firsthand clinical experiences with leading scholars at the #1 medical school in Ohio. 

Your JD and supplemental master’s, which can be completed in three years total, can open doors within the health law profession. And you’ll gain invaluable skills studying in our interdisciplinary program that will translate well to your career.

You must apply separately to—and be admitted by—each program. Current law students may apply to the dual-degree program before the end of their first year. Scholarships are available for both programs.

Each degree program will review applications separately and will make admission decisions separately. Timelines and due dates are different for each program. Please review each program's website for the correct date.
