Professional Ethical Decision-Making Made Possible
No matter what career you pursue, at some point you’ll have to make difficult ethical decisions.
Should you serve only sustainable food at your restaurant? Should you fire employees to keep costs down and please stakeholders? If you design your own fashion line, how do you make sure the people making your clothes are treated fairly?
Be ready to lead — and make a difference in the global community — with a minor in 职业道德. You’ll take classes like Ethical Analysis, 道德与公共政策, 和法律, 医疗, 环境或商业道德. Develop the reasoning skills you’ll need to navigate an increasingly complicated world with a lot of gray areas. 研究生 prepared to confront challenging issues and work through them in a thoughtful, fair way.
The 职业道德 minor is part of the 哲学系.
