Ethics (Minor)

The minor in ethics recognizes both the interdisciplinary nature of many moral problems as well as the value of ethical reasoning and ethical theory. Employers state that moral decision-making is one of the most important skills that employees can have, yet this area is rarely recognized on transcripts and degrees as a specific area of competency. Given the importance of ethics and moral reasoning for students' own personal development, as well as its value for recognizing and resolving moral problems both in and out of the workplace, having a minor in ethics is a great way to prepare students to deal with the complexity of the real world.
