Ethics & Leadership
In the interest of educating thoughtful and responsible leaders, the BDP in Ethics and Leadership brings together resources from across campus to allow students to examine these complex phenomena from an interdisciplinary perspective. With courses relevant to health care, business, politics, law, engineering, and the media, the Ethics and Leadership BDP can complement a range of majors and interests. Through the connecting experiences component of the BDP, students may work with community and professional organizations or bring their interdisciplinary expertise to faculty research in areas such as public policy, advertising, and bio-ethics. Five interdisciplinary areas of study allow students to focus their exploration:
- Business Ethics
- Ethics of Health Care
- Media, Ethics, and Public Policy
- Politics, Law, and Social Justice
- Race, Ethnicity, and Ethics
An interdisciplinary faculty panel guides students in choosing courses and identifying research and internship experiences that allow them to connect the challenges of ethical leadership to their majors and career goals.
"The coursework I've completed for my Ethics of Health Care strand has broadened my perspective on different issues in our health care system today. The knowledge I've gained in my ethics courses about the humanistic side of medicine will better prepare me for what lies ahead as I pursue my career goals."
- Katie Tran, Ethics & Leadership
