A minor in applied ethics provides students with a strong ethical background in a number of professional fields. It is an excellent complement for students majoring in business, law, paralegal, or for students preparing for a career in a medical field.

If needed, the student may include a course from another department that deals with the implementation of theoretical norms for a maximum of four credits. If an elective course from another department is used for the applied ethics minor, it must be chosen in consultation with an adviser from the Philosophy Department. When approved, the student’s adviser will then file the name of the course with the Registrar's Office.
