Ethics and Values Minor

No matter what your primary field of study and no matter what your career goals, you will benefit from the study of ethics from both theoretical and practical perspectives. This minor, offered from the Department of Philosophy and Religion, teaches students to understand the ultimate principles that guide ethical thinking and action, and also trains them to engage in independent ethical reasoning and to grasp responsibilities in many different areas of life.

 

Such ethical skills are in high demand: not only is your personal reputation a key factor of success, but employer surveys consistently show that values such as integrity, honest communication, respect, and confidentiality are considered to be crucial for the proper functioning of any organization or company.
