To respond to the growth in business ethics initiatives and
the need for more accessibility to best practices in
business ethics, The Management Development Center at the
Anderson Schools of Management, University of New Mexico
offers a business ethics certificate program designed to
introduce the participant to the latest concepts and best
practices available for ethic education resources. This online course
provides insights into issues, dilemmas, frameworks and cases
useful for understanding the various factors that influence
ethical decision making in an organization. The ten week
online delivery of the program provides a weekly module that
includes a high level of interactivity with participant control of the rate and sequence of their
exposure to information. The outcome of this program is
to enhance the participant's knowledge base and access to
information for continuous development of business ethics
expertise. Skills relevant to teaching business ethics
and managing an organizational ethics program are enhanced
through this program.
The certificate
is obtained through a distance learning format beginning February 8, 2010 Participants
will be required to complete 10 modules on a weekly basis.
What have previous participants said about
the program?
"I have found this class to be rather
interesting from start to finish. This is the first internet based
learning experience that I have had. The slides and information have
been great."
"This course was perfect for me,
particularly with my unexpectedly hectic schedule. I must say the
sense of community was particularly important - being able to 'catch up'
when I could allowed me to stay connected."
"For me, the greatest value in the course
was much the same as it would have been in a classroom situation - the
dynamic exchange of ideas among students."
"Sharing a common interest, as we do with
ethics, is a strong catalyst for the formation of new relationships.
The commonality of interest lets you sit down with someone you hardly know
and almost immediately become immersed in conversation - talking like old
friends who've known each other for years."
What
is the distance learning platform?
Each
participant must have access to a computer and the Internet to
complete course requirements. The certificate program is
delivered through interaction taking place via the Internet.
Some materials will be sent by mail including books and a
videotape. Instructors will also be available via email and telephone.
Students must turn in ten assignments to receive a certificate.
