Bridging Disciplines Programs allow you to create an interdisciplinary concentration that integrates area requirements, electives, courses for your major, internships, and research.

In the interest of educating thoughtful and responsible leaders, the BDP in Ethics & Leadership brings together resources from across campus. With courses relevant to health care, business, politics, law, engineering, and the media, Ethics & Leadership can complement a range of majors and interests. Through the Connecting Experiences component of the BDP, students may work with community and professional organizations or bring their interdisciplinary expertise to faculty research in areas such as public policy, advertising, and bio-ethics.

The Ethics & Leadership BDP is overseen by a panel of faculty members from across campus. Members include Minette Drumwright (Advertising), John Dzienkowski (Law), Diane Ginsburg (Pharmacy), Linda Golden (Marketing), Sue Heinzelman (English), J.D. Howell (LBJ), Julie Irwin (Marketing), Madeline Maxwell (Communication Studies), Steve Nichols (Mechanical Engineering), Joy Penticuff (Nursing), Bob Peroni (Law), Robert Prentice (Information, Risk & Operations Management), Howard Prince (LBJ), Stan Roux (Molecular Cell & Developmental Biology), Sean Theriault (Government), Geoff Tumlin (LBJ), Juliet Walker (History), Jerome Williams (Advertising), and Paul Woodruff (Philosophy and Undergraduate Studies).

Upon completion of 19 hours, you will earn a certificate in Ethics & Leadership.

Ethics & Leadership

The BDP staff can help you find internships and research opportunities that connect Ethics & Leadership to your major field. We call these opportunities “Connecting Experiences,” because they play such an important role in integrating your studies. Research experiences might include working with the Faculty Research Group at the Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Participation or participating in research on medical ethics through the Institute for the Medical Humanities. A student looking for community-based experiences might intern with a local non-profit, a media outlet, or a government agency. For more information, visit www.utexas.edu/ugs/bdp.
