ethics classes

Philosophy of conduct

Ethics classes are courses that examine questions of right and wrong, moral reasoning, and ethical decision-making.

They appear in philosophy departments, professional schools, and increasingly in primary and secondary education.

Medical ethics, business ethics, and bioethics classes prepare students to navigate moral dilemmas in their fields: The ethics class debated whether it's ever acceptable to lie to patients.
