Overview

Mercer University's Ethics, Leadership and Service program is a four-year bachelor's degree program that integrates rigorous academic coursework with practical experiences in leadership and service. The program is designed to provide students with a strong foundation in ethical decision-making, critical thinking, and leadership skills that will enable them to make positive contributions to society.

Through a combination of classroom instruction, experiential learning, and community engagement, students in the Ethics, Leadership and Service program develop a deep understanding of ethical principles and leadership theories, as well as practical skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving.

Leading a life of integrity and worth

The Ethics, Leadership and Service program recognizes that the world is a better place when we have ethical leaders.

Determining what an ethical leader is means realizing that ethics is about developing the perspectives, knowledge base, emotional intelligence, and skills with which to live a human and humane life.

Such a life requires that we set goals that are worthy and honorable. Philosophical and religious traditions through the centuries and across cultures have said in many different ways that we must seek the well-being of others.

Ethics cannot, therefore, be divorced from service. That is why service is a required part of the minor.

Nor can ethics be divorced from hard thinking about theories and social problems. That is why this minor intersects with work in diverse disciplines. In close consultation with the faculty, each student will craft a path through the minor that reflects their interests, goals, and talents.

Ethics entails becoming a leader, in a broad sense of the term. People can lead in all kinds of settings, in all kinds of ways, but ethical leaders both model and enable lives of integrity and worth.
