College Ethics Bowls
ABOUT THE INTERCOLLEGIATE ETHICS BOWL:
Hundreds of students and teams across the United States and Canada compete in 12 Regional Ethics Bowl competitions each fall with hopes of being one of the 36 teams that progress to the national competition. The teams argue and defend their moral assessment of some of the most troubling and complex ethical issues facing society today. Questions address a wide array of topics in business and professional ethics, in personal relationships, and in social and political affairs.
The competition focuses on selected case scenarios that are developed by ethics professionals from the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics (APPE) scholarly membership. The scenarios cover a wide range of disciplines including, but not limited to, business, engineering, journalism, law, medicine, and social work. In the competitions, students demonstrate their ability to (1) understand the facts of the case, (2) articulate the ethical principles involved in the case, (3) present an effective argument on how the case should be resolved, and (4) respond effectively to challenges put forth by the opposing team as well as the panel of expert judges.
Former Ethics Bowl students consider this one of their most important college activities and one that they carry forward into their professional and personal lives.
The Intercollegiate Ethics Bowl is open to all and we invite any who wish to participate—students, faculty, coaches, moderators, judges and supporters—to join in this powerful and unique educational experience.
