A Bachelor of Arts with a minor in Applied Ethical and Political Philosophy enhances your problem-solving, reasoning and analytical skills because you examine real-world ethical issues and investigate solutions to complex problems. You can customize your degree by choosing select courses in anthropology, criminology, economics, media and communications studies, political science, philosophy, and sociology to critically examine ethical issues in topics such as social justice, criminology, and global politics.
Tailor your Bachelor of Arts to your specific interests by combining your Applied Ethical and Political Philosophy minor with another major or minor within the College of Arts.

The ability to answer questions of ethics, power, and influence is crucial for anyone who wishes to launch a career as politician, lawyer, prosecutor, public administrator, social entrepreneur, social policy researcher, diplomat, minister, or civil servant.
The investigative and problem-solving skills learned through a minor in Applied Ethical and Political Philosophy are also relevant in careers such as journalism, education, human resources, consulting, or social work.
Graduates are well prepared to pursue further graduate studies in fields such as applied ethics, bio-medical ethics, business ethics, and environmental ethics, where career opportunities are expanding.
