Introduction
As humans, many of our choices and actions have ethical ramifications. As a value theory minor, you’ll examine how ethical systems intersect with many aspects of our lives, from public policy, law, business, and the environment to medicine, neuroscience, and data science. The goal is to question and refine your own values.
Why Study Value Theory at Albion?
As a value theory minor, you’ll examine classical and contemporary ethical theories and apply these to today’s pressing questions. Is healthcare a right or a privilege? How should we reconcile the concerns of the present and future generations when combating climate change? The study of ethics provides a strong analytic and critical foundation for careers in fields such as public policy, business, law, and medicine. More broadly, you’ll examine your place in the world and learn to articulate your own ethical stances.
