The Certificate in Regulatory Ethics is open to anyone.
Addressing a need for regulatory expertise in an increasingly complex world of intersecting rules and requirements, this certificate presents an interdisciplinary approach to understanding regulation, an enterprise that cuts across a wide array of domains ranging from health and social services, to education, business, energy, environment, and more. The certificate provides an overview of the sociocultural bases of the need to regulate and the relationship between regulation and ethics, as well as the psychological processes that impact policy-making and drive reactions to regulation. Students will gain a basic understanding of the structure of regulation, where to find relevant information and how to navigate through it, as well as when to call in legal expertise.
