Premised on the idea that moral discourse is vital to a flourishing, civil society, the purpose of the Center for the Study of Ethics is to explore the ethical dimensions of a wide variety of disciplines and contemporary moral issues. Designed to serve the needs of students, faculty, and the community at large, the Center promotes the study of ethics through curriculum development, public forums, publications, and faculty workshops. The Center facilitates discussion about the moral nuances of everyday life, and supports the individual effort of orienting oneself within the wider social horizon.

The Center for the Study of Ethics serves under the auspices of the Office of the Associate Vice President for Scholarship and Research.
