Applied Ethics
Study ethical problems from different perspectives. Start with two core courses in philosophy, then choose courses from a variety of departments and focus on what interests you most. Examine any subject―from engineering to gender to Indigenous studies―through an ethical lens. Develop the resources you need to face ethical problems in your own life and workplace.
