    BA Programs in Ethics

    A Bachelor of Arts (BA) is often the first in the sequence of higher education degrees. With a typical completion time of three to five years, this degree provides a broad base of knowledge in the humanities as well as expertise in a chosen major or area of focus.

    What is a BA in Ethics? This degree appeals to those who are interested in the dilemmas that are often created when attempting to mediate competing aims or balance the rights or needs of individuals against those of a larger group. This degree focuses on the study of morality, philosophy, and logic as well as their applications to reasoning and problem solving. Courses might also include a focus on topics such as economics, business, law, public policy, or political science.

    This degree has the potential to greatly enhance students’ reasoning and problem solving skill as well as their ability to engage in objective, diplomatic analysis of situations involving ethics. Students may improve their communication skills and understanding of human interaction. These abilities can be applied in a vast range of contexts and careers, as the concept of ethics intersects in some way with almost every human endeavor.

    The cost of an undergraduate ethics degree will depend on the school and program chosen, as well as whether classes are taken on campus or online. Students should take these factors into consideration when comparing available options.

    Because of the universality of ethics concerns, the skills learned through this degree can be applied in almost any field. Graduates may apply their skills to the development and monitoring of ethics policies in business, government, or social services. Majoring in ethics offers graduates a great deal of flexibility to pursue areas of individual interest as they build a career around the application of standards and expectations for personal and professional behavior. This program is often a logical foundation for further study toward a law degree.
