Ethics
The field of ethics encompasses the principles that guide human conduct and the concepts of right and wrong behavior. In an ever changing world where values shape every thought, decision, and action, the study of ethics is becoming increasingly important. The study of ethics is appropriate to every facet of our world and carries over into every decision we make.
The minor in ethics is an interdisciplinary minor and courses must be chosen from 3 of the following disciplines: philosophy, religious studies, communication studies, business or sociology.
