College courses in ethics: do they really make a difference?

Abstract

Ethics in business is an issue that has long received considerable attention. As a result of accreditation requirements, many universities have attempted to address this issue by making a course in ethics a part of business programs. This paper examines the values of current college students studying business with regard to professional and business ethics. Attitudes of students who have taken a course in ethics are compared with those who have not.
