Ethics Minor

Expand Your Educational Experience with a Minor in Ethics

The minor in Interdisciplinary Ethics promotes the study of ethics and morality across disciplinary perspectives and therefore can complement a variety of primary majors. Coursework includes both theoretical and applied ethics and integrates Christian and Catholic perspectives as distinctive of the Loras College mission. Coursework in our ethics minor will study contemporary social ethical concerns, the nature of moral reasoning, historical development in ethical perspectives, distinctive features of the Catholic moral tradition, and the application of ethical norms to various disciplines and fields of study.

Student Experience

As a Loras student, you have the opportunity to enhance your educational experience by adding one or more minors. We encourage students to take advantage of opportunities to study abroad, engage in community outreach, explore internships and get involved in the many student and academic organizations available.

Curriculum

The development of the program curriculum was a collaborative effort from faculty in both the Noonan School of Business and the humanities. It integrates course options from several disciplines while also providing a core centered in critical ethical reasoning and the Catholic moral tradition. The program  responds to both our own sense of mission at Loras college as well as the desires of potential employers who have expressed a need for thoughtful graduates who are trained in ethical reasoning.
