Ethics Certificate Online Program
The Univeristy of New
Mexico Ethics Certificate program will conduct the 14th class beginning
September 10, 2007. The
success of the certificate program has allowed us to get feedback and
continually improve the program. The program was launched in 2001
and has been offered twice yearly. Over 200 participants have completed
their certificate. We expect to have 20 participants
in the fall program including educators and
organizational managers responsible for ethics. One of the major
advantages of this program is the online format that provides
interaction and exchange of best practices related to this important
area. We are adapting our fall course content to reflect the
ethics issues that are addressed in teaching and training. Issues related to loss of
confidence in business, misrepresentation of material facts about
companies, and ethics failure by many organization leaders will be
addressed. While the course allows individuals to proceed on a
self paced basis there are weekly modules that require participants to
post their reaction to their reading assignments and other online
activities. A business ethics certificate from the University of New
Mexico Anderson Schools of Management will be awarded after successful completion of the course.
In case participants
are out of the office, we allow flexibility in completing weekly
assignments and discussion. While there is no formal grade awarded
in the class, satisfactory participation can result in continuing
education credits and the awarding of a business ethics certificate
through the
College of
Business.
Our previous participants indicate they have gained a great deal of
knowledge from taking the course that they can apply to their work
environment.
This program is
designed to introduce the participant to the latest concepts and best
practices available to guide ethics education programs and the development of effective organizational
ethics programs. This online course provides insights into issues,
frameworks, and actions useful for understanding the various factors
that influence ethical decision making in an organization. The 10
weeks 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 or any management consulting position are
developed by the certificate experience. Educators
will find the course helpful in enhancing their expertise in teaching
business ethics. Businesses, government and nonprofits will find
the framework, resources and training materials useful in developing or
improving an ethics programs.
