Definition
Ethical and Responsible Action Embedded Experience courses explore morality. Ethical theories are applied in a variety of social contexts, and the consequences of various actions are considered. As a result, students develop their own reasoned positions on right and wrong human conduct, and they strengthen their sense of personal responsibility, including exhibiting honesty and fairness, striving for excellence, developing a strong work ethic, treating others with tolerance and respect, and acting with integrity.
