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 can declare the Ethics Minor through OPUS under the Course Planning and Enrollment tile. This form will display the student's current academic plan, and students may request to add, remove, or change a major, minor, or concentration from that page.

Requirements: 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 fourteen existing College courses including “Social & Ethical Issues in Computing”, “Religion and Ecology”, and “Introduction to Neuroethics."
