Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¹ÒÅÆ's Program in Applied Ethics offers you an opportunity to learn the history, terminology, and forms of reasoning that underlie the practice of ethical conduct through a unified approach to the theory and practice of ethical conduct.

What You'll Learn and Do

Pursue your passion.

The Applied Ethics program includes an integrated set of interdisciplinary courses, seminars, lectures, colloquia, and workshops. Courses are offered primarily in business, health care, communications, and environmental ethics. Depending on your interest, any profession or institution may become the focus of a course or seminar.

Be surrounded by opportunity.

With wide connections in the business and professional community, faculty are able to bring businesspeople, doctors, lawyers, and other professionals into classroom discussions. Fairfield's favorable location in an area of many corporate headquarters and medical and media centers — and the excellent cooperation that these centers extend to the University — greatly enhance the vitality of the program.

Student Learning Outcomes

Being Informed

Becoming aware of human suffering (or environmental destruction) anywhere in the world. Make suffering visible rather than invisible.

Empathy and Compassion

Part of the Christian commitment in this world is compassion, suffering on account of the suffering of another.

Taking Action

Be prepared to do something besides wringing your hands. If people are hungry, feed them. If the water table is sinking, plant trees. That sort of thing.

Human Responsibility

Not all misery is caused by human beings, but a lot of it is. Who? And How? With particular determination, seek out the operations, acts, and motives, especially in the developed world, that inflict suffering, especially on the developing world.
