I have to take both of these. Has anyone else taken both and, if so, which is easier?
I am so close to finishing now - I can almost touch it! :hurray:
Thank you!

Also, someday maybe a MS in Forensic Psychology, just for fun. Oh, and a BS in Animal Behavior. And, maybe when I'm 85 a PhD in something fun.

I'm bumping this just once. I found out I only need one, so I need to figure out if one is significantly easier than the other.
thanks!

Hi Denise!
I tried to study for Ethics in America, but it wasn't a good match for me. Despite my complete lack of business background, I did much better with the topics and concepts of Business Ethics. I left my feedback here:

I'm so happy to see your progress!
What are you considering for your last exam? I highly recommend any of the CLEP and DSSTs that I took. Also, consider Technical Writing.

I've heard both opinions from people who tried studying for one or the other, so it depends more on your own preferences. I personally really enjoy philosophy and working with ideas, so I chose the Ethics in America test, and it was my favorite test so far (it was seriously fun to take  ). I've heard that the Business Ethics is more practical/straightforward (check out NAP's post or run a search on Business Ethics), so it really depends on what type of concepts you prefer to study. Sorry, I know that's a little vague. :p

Good feedback - I think I'll look at the practice test and then make a decision. I need to get that out of the way and writing done. Then it doesn't matter what I take as long as it's upper level arts and science.

NAP,
Thanks for the feedback on what you've taken and what you used to study. I'm going to look through that before I decide what to take.

This is an excellent set of videos that I used to study for Ethics in America
Honolulu CC EdTechCenter - YouTube
There are several here that apply to ethics as well.
The Moral Foundations of Politics with Ian Shapiro - YouTube
Finally, take a look at the exam specific thread for Ethics in America. There is a study guide on there that covers much of the information.
