Minor in Bioethics

Curriculum Requirements

The preponderance of the credit hours required by the minor must be taken at Belmont Abbey College. Nine (9) credit hours may not count toward a major or minor in another department. Only classes completed with a grade of “C” or better will fulfill the minor requirements.

It is the student’s responsibility to see that all degree requirements for graduation are fulfilled.

It is recommended that students in the minor fulfill their second core Philosophy requirement with PH250 Ethics.
