Course | Professional Ethics

Multi-pathway

Professional Ethics provides a solid understanding of why ethics is essential in every profession. After an introduction to several philosophies that inform ethics today, learners explore the characteristics of an ethical professional. They consider the range of dilemmas faced by managers and employees in the workplace and discover the qualities of influential leaders and the tools modern professionals use to instill an ethical workplace culture. Throughout the course, learners have opportunities to refine their personal sense of ethics as they begin to build an ethical foundation for their professional future.
