The School of Business Administration works closely with the University of Miami Ethics Programs to foster and support a range of efforts dedicated to education, research and community service in ethics and the professions.

Now in its 17th year, UM Ethics programs sponsors and develops a variety of courses, conferences, research projects, seminars and other activities around the University of Miami and with partners throughout Florida, the United States and the Americas.

This university-wide inter- and multi-disciplinary program has emphasized work in bioethics, business and professional ethics and scientific ethics.

UM Ethics Programs is supported by community leader Adrienne Arsht who has provided $3 million in gifts to support a suite of university-wide, interdisciplinary initiatives: an ethics debate series, a distinguished speakers program and a research program and, in the future, a visiting scholar initiative and a faculty development project.

UM Ethics Programs was recently designated a World Health Organization Collaborating Center in Ethics and Global Health Policy, the only program of its kind in the United States to achieve this distinction. The ethics center, in conjunction with the CITI Program in research ethics, has also been awarded a National Institutes of Health grant to train researchers around Latin America and the Caribbean.
