Certificate in Ethical Theory and Practice
About the Program
The certificate in Ethical Theory and Practice will help you develop your awareness and understanding of ethical issues. Ethics is a crucial aspect of all personal, familial, institutional, civic, business, scientific, and professional relationships. In ethics classes, you will reflect upon how and why these kinds of problems arise, the nuances and repercussions of tackling them in different ways, and some of the various ways people have thought about how to resolve them in practice. This kind of study adds depth to your understanding of the practical dimensions of all areas of life and work and prepares you for dealing with the complex moral and ethical issues that arise.
