Leadership, Ethics and Values, Ethics Concentration


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Majors, Minors and Programs of Study

Completion of an interdisciplinary Ethics or Leadership Concentration allows a student to obtain a formal transcript designation with fewer courses and requirements than a full academic minor in the context of a challenging, coherent and meaningful LEV experience involving coursework and co-curricular efforts. Both concentrations consist of tightly focused collections of academic and educational co-curricular experiences in ethical or leadership analysis and application. In most cases, the courses taken to satisfy the concentration will also satisfy general education requirements. The concentrations afford our students a splendid resume credential that we believe has real significance in a wide variety of professional settings.

Students must maintain a ‘B’ average in the courses taken to acquire the concentration. Requirements for the concentrations come in three areas: coursework, applications and portfolio.

For additional information and courses in this program, see Leadership, Ethics and Values .
