Applied and Professional Ethics – Minor
For information, contact Dr. Elizabeth Meade.
Increasingly, many professions require on-going
education and training in ethics. The minor in Applied and Professional
Ethics is designed to give our students a competitive advantage in their
fields by laying the groundwork in theoretical ethics, professional ethics,
and the application of ethical theory to a variety of practices and
professions. It is designed to fulfill the needs of two types of students:
those who wish to treat the minor as a course of study in theory and
application of ethics, and those who choose to tailor it more directly to
the issues proceeding from their majors.
