Ethics

Minor

A Minor with Major Impact.

One of the Student Learning Outcomes of Butler University is that you “will make informed, rational, and ethical choices.” Knowledge of ethics will be beneficial as a complement to a major in many different areas, to your post-bachelor education (law, medicine, political science, etc.), to your career (government, business, etc.), and, more broadly, to finding your way in life. Since ethical issues are addressed across the curriculum, appropriate courses in other disciplines can also count toward the Ethics minor.
