Overview
The goal of the undergraduate Ethics & Society Certificate is to provide students with an opportunity to pursue a rigorous cross-disciplinary study of ethics. Such a course of study requires familiarity with systematic ethical theories and traditions of moral wisdom and reflection, an understanding of how ethical issues have been framed across history and cultures, experience delving into ethical issues through literature and the arts, and insights into how ethical challenges are being conceptualized and negotiated in practice by policymakers, researchers, doctors, journalists, and others. Ethics cannot be isolated within one or two disciplines. It is an inherently cross-disciplinary inquiry that needs to draw on tools, methods, and contexts from multiple disciplines.
