HNR 103 Honors: Ethics

3 Credits

Honors Ethics is a writing-intensive, multidisciplinary seminar that emphasizes (1) the development of logical, rhetorical, and reading skills necessary to understand argument structure, and (2) the theoretical and practical aspects of moral philosophy, including selected ethical theories. The primary aim of this course is to develop effective reading, writing, and critical thinking skills as well as to become a more reflective individual. 

Students explore fundamental ethical questions and gain a framework which they can use to think through ethical issues that confront them as human beings, responsible citizens, and emerging leaders in a global community. Through a study of a variety of ethical approaches, students explore the meaning of self and society, and reflect on the compatibility of faith and reason with specific reference to the Catholic Franciscan intellectual and spiritual tradition.
