in Professional Ethics |
| What does a minor in Professional
Ethics offer?
The minor in professional ethics provides students
with insights into ethical reasoning and critical
analysis that will help clarify and direct their
own moral questioning and decision-making. The
minor assists students in deepening their understanding
of personal and professional responsibilities
and their own capacity to clarify and evaluate
alternatives for meeting those responsibilities.

Requirements
Besides a required foundation course, students
are to select at least four courses from a range
of offerings in professional ethics. These classes
in applied ethics focus on the moral issues
confronting contemporary professionals. An experiential
learning component of the minor connects classroom
instruction with the actual practice of moral
decision-making in an organization. |
