The School of Professional Studies at Columbia University seeks a part-time lecturer to teach a graduate-level course in Ethical Decision-Making for Communicators , in the school’s Master of Science degree program in Strategic Communication .
This required course addresses the growing need for ethical leadership among communications and marketing professionals—not only to protect an organization’s reputation, but also to attract desirable customers and employees, and build trust among increasingly socially conscious stakeholders. Through case studies, class discussions, and assignments, students learn how to identify ethical dilemmas, analyze potential risks and opportunities by applying ethical reasoning, and to formulate persuasive arguments for winning support for their positions from within and outside their organizations. The course focuses on current events involving issues specific to communications professionals, including the ethical and unethical application of persuasion.
The course will be taught on our Morningside Heights campus during the fall '25 semester: from September 2nd (first day of classes) to December 19th (last day for final exams).
