Alden March Bioethics Institute

47 New Scotland Avenue, MC 153

 Albany, NY 12208

Admission to the program will be based on academic achievement, personal and professional goals, and intellectual promise.

Graduate entrance exam scores [GRE] are required only for prospective students without a terminal degree (e. g. J.D., M.D., M.P.H., M.S.W., Ph.D.). Applicants with undergraduate degrees and significant work experience are considered on a case by case basis for GRE waiver. Applicants coming directly out of undergraduate school are expected to take the GRE. Other graduate or professional exams such as MCAT or LSAT can  substitute for GRE.

Dual degree students must be accepted independently to their professional degree program as well as the M.S. in Bioethics Program.

Students admitted to the program will be asked to provide a $100 non-refundable deposit within 30 days of their acceptance to the program.
