CHAPTER 15: Assessing Ethics Education In A Business, Government, And Society Course Context

Business, government, and society courses have been offered in colleges and universities for approximately 35 to 40 years. Today, they are variously called business, government, and society (BGS) or, more frequently, business and society (B&S). Other titles given to such courses include business and its environment, business and public policy, or corporate social responsibility. Some schools now cover the topic in a business ethics course. Very few colleges and universities have formal programs or majors in these topics; therefore, the coverage of this material is typically left to a single course or, at most, a small set of interrelated courses.
