Ethics
|
|
The study of ethics encompasses nearly every aspect of our lives - from education and health, to politics and business.
Columbia College emphasizes ethics courses within all its majors, but students in the Ethics Minor explore a cross section of topics. They also learn about the foundations of moral philosophy and the three main ethical theories.
Students analyze the principles used to evaluate ethical issues that arise in medicine, criminal justice and more. They investigate problematic cases. And they study major writers and philosophers from the past as well as those who continue to shape the field today.

Minors
A minor is defined as a course of study of at least 18 semester hours outside the student’s major. Academic minors may be earned in disciplines as specified by the department faculty. Requirements are a grade point average of 2.0 or higher for 18 or more semester hours.
Courses for the minor may also meet general education or major requirements, and at least 9 of the required hours must be earned in Columbia College coursework. (Transfer courses equivalent to courses designated are accepted toward the minor.)
Majors and minors may not be added to an already earned degree.
In some curricular areas, the College offers courses totaling fewer than 18 semester hours. In these areas, students may earn additional semester hours through transfer credit so the total semester hours earned meets the required number of hours (see Evaluation of Credit and Testing ). Main Campus Day students can participate in cooperative cross-enrollment with the University of Missouri - Columbia and/or Stephens College (see Advising and Registration ).
