Scholarly activities ethics requirements

A learning outcome of master's and Ph.D. programs at Oregon State requires that students are able to conduct scholarly activities in an ethical manner. The course GRAD 520 is one way to satisfy this university requirement. Students can also take other courses that cover ethics as a topic. One example is GEOG 564, GEOSPATIAL PERSPECTIVES ON INTELLIGENCE, SECURITY, AND ETHICS (3 credits) currently offered on campus and online.

Another option is to complete the online CITI training program, Responsible Conduct of Research for All Disciplines Course that is free for OSU students.

If you choose the CITI Training Program option to fulfill the ethics requirement, please sign up with your OSU credentials. Once you are finished send a copy of the certificate to Renee Freeman at [email protected] . Please also indicate how you chose to satisfy the ethics requirement on your program of study planning template.
