Business ethics seminar series offered

September 11, 2000

A new seminar series on business ethics, "Good Choices . . . Good Business," is being offered by Coastal Carolina University's E. Craig Wall Sr. College of Business Administration beginning Oct. 2. The program is designed to serve area businesses.

Each seminar consists of four classes and will be held on consecutive Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. in Coastal's Wall College of Business. The program will be repeated in November 2000 and in January, February and March 2001. A seminar series is limited to 20 participants. The fee is $200 per participant.

"Participants will learn the basis of ethical decision making, apply what they learn to actual cases in business, and discuss their own concerns about ethical business practices," says Claudia McCollough, chair of the Department of Philosophy and Religion and founder of the Business Ethics Program at Coastal. McCollough will lead the seminars.

Participants who successfully complete the seminar series will receive a certificate. Companies which have 75 percent employee participation will also receive a certificate. The Better Business Bureau will be notified of company involvement in the program.
