Mihaylo College of Business and Economics
Mandatory Ethics Requirement

One of the goals of the College of Business and Economics (CBE) is to promote the development of ethically responsible students who will become future professionals in business, economics and other related fields. As responsible members of the CBE community, students are expected to adhere to the highest standards of academic integrity and overall ethical conduct. To insure that all CBE students are aware of these standards, the faculty of the CBE adopted a policy that mandates students fulfill the CBE Ethics requirement by acknowledging the CBE Student Code of Ethics, become familiar with the policies and practices related to academic dishonesty and plagiarism, and demonstrate competency in these areas by passing the CBE Ethics Quiz.
