Course descriptions:

P542: Ethics and Values of Philanthropy (3 cr.): This course explores fundamental ethical questions about giving and philanthropy. What is the role of generosity in a full human life, and how does generosity relate to other virtues, such as courage and wisdom? What resources do we have available for sharing, and which ones offer the most to both recipient and donor? Is money our most important resource, and are the wealthy necessarily capable of the greatest generosity?
We explore these and other ethical questions through readings both contemporary and classical.

M301: Perspectives on Health, Disease and Healing (3 cr.): Utilizes the perspectives of the humanities and social science disciplines to provide students with a broader understanding of the many facets of health and disease, suffering and dying as well as the art and science of healing.
