Ethics Across the Curriculum 2009-2010

Overview

Ethics Across the Curriculum, funded by alumnus Michael Rapaport (’59), is a college-wide initiative, that provides support for faculty to incorporate teaching about everyday ethics into their current course curricula. Everyday ethics is about integrity and cheating, honesty and dishonesty, justice and injustice. Courses incorporating an Ethics Across the Curriculum segment help students learn what everyday ethics is and how its principles are incorporated into many disciplines that deal with substantive issues other than ethics, such as anthropology, chemistry, engineering, and literature. After completing an Ethics Across the Curriculum course listed below, students will be prepared to face the world of tough decisions and will be empowered to exercise moral leadership.
