Ethics Minor


Introduced in spring 2003, the Ethics Minor is a multidepartmental program designed to complement all students’ major programs as well as provide enhanced preparation for graduate and professional studies in numerous fields, including law, nursing, medicine, and business.

Students pursuing the Ethics Minor must complete five courses in ethics. One course must be Introduction to Ethics (PHIL 115). The remaining courses may be chosen from existing Emory College courses, including Business Ethics, Religion and Ecology, Military Ethics, and Evil: Philosophical-Literary Approaches, or from a list of courses with substantial ethical content approved by the coordinators of the Ethics Minor.
