GE Pathway Minor in Ethics, Justice and Policy Studies

Pathway Coordinator: Ryan Patten, BUTE 727.

The beneficial welfare of society demands that its citizens be able to contribute to public policymaking in an educated and thoughtful manner. This Pathway is designed to provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge to be prepared for active and responsible engagement in the social decision-making process. This Pathway recognizes that a person's position on any public issue needs to be tied to facts, his/her own fully developed sense of ethics and justice, along with a thorough understanding of the issues themselves and the political, economic, and social mechanisms that guide the policy process. The courses chosen for this Pathway interweave and blend these three elements to provide students with a rich and thorough knowledge base that will prepare them for a lifetime of informed participation in the policymaking process.

Course Requirements for the Minor: 18 units
