ETH 501 Business Ethics
In this graduate course, students will explore how normative ethics serve as a useful theoretical and practical lens through which business problems might be critically assessed. Throughout the course, students will engage such key concepts as virtue, duty, rights, and utility to inform their understanding of an organization's ethical sensibilities. Students will also consider the merits of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and will learn how the organization's ethics are influenced by its culture. Standards of graduate-level writing, information literacy, and American Psychological Association (APA) writing and referencing style will be considered in the Session Long Project.
