Program description
Degree awarded: MA  Applied Ethics and the Professions (Leadership, Management, and Ethics)

Students pursuing the MA in applied ethics and the professions concentration (leadership, management and ethics) examine a variety of considerations facing managers and leaders in public, private and nonprofit organizations and consider the question of how ethical judgments might be made in these settings.

Topics covered include, but are not limited to, the following issues:

  • How does management or leadership contribute to the organization's overall sense of social responsibility? Is the manager or leader seeking moral objectives or moral ends, the right policies or outcomes?
  • Is the manager or leader doing the right things for the right reasons and with the proper attention to matters of character and integrity?
  • What is the relationship between managers or leaders and followers, and how, if at all, does the act of leadership itself appreciably alter the values of the group in a positive way?

Completion of this degree concentration prepares the student to act more ethically and responsibly as an individual in their organization and in society, as well as to help those groups develop more ethical cultures.

What are accelerated programs?
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.

3 year programs

These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.

Accelerated master's

These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).

Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
What are concurrent programs?
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
What are joint programs?
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
