Return to: Colleges, Departments, and Programs
The Applied Ethics minor is designed for degree candidates from any college in the university who want to study and evaluate ethical issues in business, medicine, law, public policy, the environment, media, data collection and use, or other areas. The program is designed to develop students’ ability to think critically about ethical problems in a specific domain or professional practice; and to credential UMass Dartmouth baccalaureates with advanced marketable skills and competencies.
Students in the Applied Ethics program explore core ethical theory including utilitarianism, deontology, virtue ethics, and more. They practice how to apply that theory to moral issues in business, public policy, and professional practice. Elective options for the minor explore philosophy as it applies to health care; technology; disability, race, and gender; human rights; the environment; value theory, and more.
In the Applied Ethics minor, students will learn how to perform ethical reasoning and analysis in their preferred area of study. The program is structured so that students can specialize in one of the following tracks:
- Ethics and Public Policy
- Medical Ethics
- Information & Technology Ethics
- Environmental Ethics
- Ethics of Media and Creative Expression
Electives within each track are identified below with superscript letters corresponding to those above next to the course name. Tracks are subject to revision by the Philosophy Department Curriculum Committee. Students may also develop individual tracks in consultation with, and the approval of, the Program Director.
