Applied ethics is a discipline that branches out of the humanities and ethics, but which can be taken in a number of different directions. For this reason, every applied ethics program is unique. Some focus on applied ethics within the context of law, while others engage more specifically with bioethics, tackling difficult questions as to the ethics of bioengineering. In any case, applied ethics generally involves a diverse curriculum, ranging from courses in political philosophy to ethical theory. Students are encouraged to grapple with timely ethical dilemmas and to learn how to advocate for a given side of the argument.
