Ethics teaching has been an integral part of business education at Wharton for over 25 years. Wharton has been integrating ethics into its curriculum for almost three decades. The principle research objective of the program is to critically consider the context, role, and effectiveness of ethics education.

The objectives of the program are:

 

  • To enable students to develop the critical skills and analytical frameworks essential to identify, characterize, and resolve ethical problems likely to arise in their business careers.

 

  • To acquaint students and faculty with literature on professional ethics and corporate responsibility.

 

  • To encourage the moral and intellectual development of students.

 

  • To support and encourage empirical and theoretical research in business ethics.
