They are encouraged to take courses in their major with an ethics emphasis to fulfill this requirement. Area IV: Elective Students must take one additional course, to be selected from either Area I or Area II (please see above). This will permit students either (1) to deepen their understanding of (meta)theory; or (2) to select an applied theory course from an area other than that chosen already for emphasis, thus allowing for comparative theoretical analysis and application.
