Description

Ethics are the foundation of many legal and political systems. Pair your bachelor's degree with the study of ethics in order to become a better philosophical thinker who can solve ethical problems.

The ethics concentration is designed to give students a richer understanding of systematic philosophical thinking about ethics.
