About the Center

CAPE was created to provide an essential resource for the University, working professionals and the greater Kansas City community. The center provides educational opportunities for those interested in ethical issues in healthcare, the life sciences, business, government, and the environment.

Faculty at the center are actively involved in research and education and seek to promote discussions across the campus and throughout the community.

The center provides a wide range of educational opportunities. These include lectures, seminars, and workshops on various themes in applied and professional ethics. Most are open to the public. Additionally, the Philosophy department regularly offers upper division courses in bioethics, business ethics and environmental ethics. Please check out our News and Events and Courses for current offerings.

In addition, CAPE Faculty members are available to provide individual consultation and educational opportunities for local groups, businesses and organizations. In the past, we have been asked to speak at ethics committees, government and environmental agencies, and businesses.
