The Ethics minor prepares students to evaluate their own personal value systems and the methods they use to address critical ethical and moral decisions. The Ethics program is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to ethical methods and the application of moral decision-making to the complex ethical problems facing humanity.

1. Introductory experiences (PHIL 205  and RLST 205 ) are designed to assist students in answering critical ethical issues of life.
2. Foundation experiences (PHIL 309  and RLST 311 ) provide students with a relevant body of ethical knowledge including understanding of the principles and methodologies used in ethical and moral decision-making.
3. Advanced and applied ethics courses (PHIL 308 /RLST 308 , PHIL 307 , PHIL 312 , PHIL 313 , and PHIL 317 ) offer students the opportunity to integrate their general education courses with their professional experience by focusing on the ethical and moral values across both core and professional curricula.
4. Senior-level capstone experiences (PHIL 460 , PHIL 501 ) provide students with a range of opportunities to explore ethical issues raised by diverse academic disciplines and professional situations.
