Understanding ethical theories and ethical practices is important for a successful life, both personally and professionally. A focus on ethics not only benefits students’ intellectual and moral development but also has tangible benefits for students as they apply for graduate studies, fellowships, and jobs on completion of their studies. Students will have the opportunity to examine various ethical frameworks that relate to research ethics, business ethics, biomedical ethics, media ethics, world religions and ethics, gender and society, and more. The ethics minor is flexible enough to suit our students’ diverse majors and career goals. For example, a student who majors in business and completes the Ethics Minor might serve as a company’s ethics officer; a student who majors in nursing or biology and completes the minor could run a hospital ethics committee; a student who majors in political science or law and justice and studies ethics would be well qualified to pursue graduate work in public policy or law. The minor is open to all Rowan undergraduate students.
