Ethics
is a one-semester undergraduate three-credit course, which prepares you for

deliberation as they apply to practical ethical situations.
The DSST
exam is an essay test that challenges you to analyze morally problematic
situations in terms of issues relevant to a decision and arguments for
alternative positions and will require you to reach your own reasoned
conclusions.
