Choosing a Great Bioethics/Medical Ethics School for Your Bachelor's Degree

Your choice of bioethics/medical ethics for getting your bachelor's degree school matters. Important measures of a quality medical ethics program can vary widely even among the top schools. When choosing a school we recommend considering some of the following factors:

Quality Overall Is Important

A school that excels in educating for a particular major and degree level must be a great school overall as well. To make it into this list a school must rank well in our overall Best Colleges ranking. This ranking considered factors such as graduation rates, overall graduate earnings and other educational resources to identify great colleges and universities.

Average Earnings

To determine the overall quality of a graduate school, one factor we look at is the average early-career salary of those receiving their bachelor's degree from the school. This is because one of the main reasons people pursue their bachelor's degree is to enable themselves to find better-paying positions.

Other Factors We Consider

In addition to the above, you should consider some of the following factors:

• Major Focus - How many resources a school devotes to bioethics/medical ethics students as compared to other majors.
• Major Demand - How many other bioethics/medical ethics students want to attend this school to pursue a bachelor's degree.
• Educational Resources - The amount of money and other resources allocated to students while they are pursuing their degree. These resources include such things as number of students per instructor and education expenditures per student.
• Student Debt - How easy is it for bioethics/medical ethics to pay back their student loans after receiving their bachelor's degree.
• Accreditation - Whether a school is regionally accredited and/or accredited by a recognized bioethics/medical ethics related body.

Our complete ranking methodology documents in more detail how we consider these factors to identify the best schools for bioethics/medical ethics students working on their bachelor's degree.
