The Philosophy program offers a 12-credit Applied Ethics Certificate. This program appeals not only to philosophy majors and minors, but also to students in STEM and pre-professional programs whose future employers may well desire to hire students that have demonstrated a commitment to learning how ethical principles apply to various “real-world” scenarios.

Please see the current bulletin for course descriptions.

The only other requirement is the completion of a pass/fail, (0-credit) Applied Ethics Certificate Capstone, an independent study course in which you will write a reflection essay reviewing and commenting upon what you have learned in your Certificate courses concerning the nature of ethical issues in the areas covered.

To become a philosophy major or minor, or to pursue an Applied Ethics Certificate, stop by the University Advising Resource Center (UARC) office in the Student Success Center, Ste 202 for help. You should then contact the program at page@uwosh.edu to be assigned an advisor.

For more information, please contact Dr. Robert Wagoner, Philosophy Professor at wagonerr@uwosh.edu.
