The Graduate Certificate in Theoretical and Applied Ethics is designed to provide a specialized investigation of ethical theory and issues from a philosophical as well as a subject-specific point of view. This interdisciplinary graduate certificate focuses on specific areas of ethical inquiry in philosophy, humanities, the arts, sciences, health care, business, education, criminal justice, public administration, public relations, journalism, politics, and others.
Faculty in the Department of Philosophy teach core and selected elective courses. Other courses focused on particular areas of inquiry in business, health care, criminal justice, public administration, education, communication, political science, psychology, and women's studies are taught within the relevant departments and disciplines.
Admission
Admission is open to those with a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited institution. An application to the graduate certificate program and official transcripts must be submitted. Applicants are encouraged to apply online. Relevant experience with theoretical and applied ethics through course work at the undergraduate or graduate level or through professional experience working with ethical issues will be evaluated by the coordinator together with the certificate committee composed of faculty from the participating departments. Additionally, it is expected that applicants will have a grade point average of 3.0. However, the committee may grant exceptions where applications provide other indicators of preparedness.
