Ethical Citizenship and Leadership

These courses foster an awareness of the historical, cultural, religious, and political-economic contexts in which ethical citizenship and leadership responsibilities are debated and enacted. They provide the knowledge and capacity for understanding ethical individual and community engagements, practices, and implications of citizenship and leadership relevant to the U.S. (broadly conceived).

For faculty with existing PA4A (DEI) courses:

• You will not submit anything into CIM for LEC review.  The old DEI outcomes map into the revised SLOs (see below).
• You will need to adjust your syllabus to reflect the new area.  At the end of this current Spring ‘25 semester, PA4A instructors will receive direct communication from OLE on specific ºÚÁÏÉçÇø-facing syllabus changes.

For faculty or departments interested in positioning a new or existing Miami Plan course within the new PA, please contact OLE directly to set up a consultation. Courses would need to align with the following Student Learning Outcomes (SLOs):

1. Students will be able to identify and analyze how individual and/or collective responsibilities of citizenship/leadership are formed and expressed by disparate ethical, religious, economic, political, and/or social factors and the historical and social trends that have shaped modern ideas about citizenship/leadership.
2. Students will be able to describe and analyze multiple perspectives on civic engagement and ethical leadership, such as debates on - and impacts of - the role of free speech, civil discourse, access to resources, freedom of conscience, public truths, democracy, religious freedom, and civic responsibilities.
3. Students will be able to interpret and evaluate the implications of individual and communal engagements, decisions, and actions related to ethical citizenship/leadership practices.
