Master of Science in Ethics and Public Policy

“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless, and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.” Samuel Johnson

 Are whistleblowers heroes? Should we be able to genetically enhance unborn children? Is torture ever justified?

Corporate expansion, developments in biotechnology, and the changing nature of warfare raise new and complex moral concerns.

The master’s program in Ethics & Public Policy trains leaders, executives, professionals, and scholars to identify and evaluate these questions. Through interdisciplinary coursework and hands-on internships, students acquire the practical skills needed to thoughtfully and responsibly assess policy formulation and the ethical issues involved in its creation.
