Overview

During these unprecendented times, our Ethics and Society courses address issues of current ethical import including the fight for racial justice and equality. Both academically rigorous and practical, our interdisciplinary MA program at Fordham University is grounded in the Jesuit tradition of intellectual excellence—enriched through moral values, religious concerns, and a commitment to creating a caring and just world.

You will gain a foundation in the moral frameworks of philosophy, theology, psychology, bioethics, and social justice while observing professionals whose work requires ethical decision-making.
