Graduate and Pharmacy Catalog 2024-2025 , | | | 30 Credit HoursThe public square generally, and organizational leaders specifically, are in dire need of critical thinkers who can engage, understand, and solve morally problematic and challenging issues within the pluralistic and global society in which we live. Through the Ethics and Organizational Behavior program, students will develop the ability to critically analyze theory and argument, identify often hidden philosophical assumptions, seek out logical fallacies in argument, locate truth and wisdom, and develop cogent and innovative solutions as unique problem solvers. Students are encouraged to engage philosophy as related to theory and practice not to simply understand, but to isolate falsities, understand related issues, and seek out truth for the good of the individual, the organization, and our global community. The program does not seek to merely “teach” students. Instead, it focuses on encouraging students to contemplate in new ways, critically evaluate research and relevant issues, and to think freely for themselves with an appreciation for the bias we all carry with us each day. The M.S. in Ethics & Organizational Behavior at PBA is a rigorous program focused in philosophy and theory as related to relevant organizational and societal issues. Our faculty are committed Christians and well respected academicians who aim at nothing less than developing critical thinkers who will pioneer change and help make organizations, societies, and the world a better place.
