Ethics, Minor

Minor in Ethics (360007M)

The Ethics Minor is designed to familiarize students with moral decision-making, as it applies to all areas of life.  Lives change, companies rise and fall based on the ethical decisions made every day, everywhere around the world.  Thus, the Ethics Minor can give any student a solid foundation for making sound moral judgments that can be put to use in any profession, as well as in one's personal life.
