Business Ethics

Catalog description

Business Ethics examines moral theories and ethical frameworks as they apply to real-world challenges in business decision-making. Students evaluate ethical dilemmas involving corporate responsibility, employee rights, consumer protection, fairness, profit, property rights, sustainability, and emerging technologies. The course culminates in a major-specific applied ethics project, allowing students to investigate an ethical issue relevant to their discipline (for example, accounting ethics and financial reporting, marketing ethics and greenwashing, operations ethics and supply chain labor practices, or AI and data ethics in business decision-making).
