Ethics (Minor)

The study of ethics involves asking deep questions: What makes an action right or wrong? What makes a person good or bad? How ought to act both in our personal lives and professional capacities? What is the good life and how can I lead one? These are some of the questions that philosophers have been asking about moral reality for well over two millennia, but they are still fascinating and can enrich our experience and inform the way we conduct ourselves. By earning an ethics minor, students will learn about moral theories that were developed in an attempt to answer these questions, but will also learn strategies for identifying other ethical puzzles that arise in our ever-changing world.
