Ethics and Advocacy Minor

The interdisciplinary minor in Ethics and Advocacy combines courses in philosophy, social justice, communications, English, and global studies with the aim of promoting the complementary skills of ethical understanding and effective advocacy. The goal of the minor is to both familiarize students with ethical questions and forms of ethical reasoning that apply to everyday life while also developing the skills of writing, speaking, and digital communication that would help them to advocate for ethical and social change in the world today. The skills developed within this minor would benefit any student who wants to be better prepared to understand and articulate the ethical questions and challenges that arise in almost any career and would be of particular benefit to those pursuing careers in social justice, public service, law, business, media, and the health sciences.
