About

It was wonderful to meet so many of our '30s' at the institute's new student open house.  We look forward to working with you through our Law and Ethics fellowship program, Sayles Student Research Grant program, and the Phillips Professional Development Internship program.  If you have questions about any of our programs, we welcome you to come by and hang out on Tuesdays.  We have snacks, drinks, and a relaxing vibe.

Be sure to check out our Ethics Across the Curriculum guide when selecting courses.

Ethics Across the Curriculum

Ethics Across the Curriculum

Normative questions are at the core of the study of ethics. This includes not just those working in moral and political philosophy but those who also study legal institutions and norms, religious ethics, health care ethics, welfare economics and a range of other topics and issues. The Institute seeks to build upon this core as it affirms an ecumenical definition of "ethics," one that intersects with a range of disciplines across the Dartmouth curriculum.
