The UCA Ethics Bowl Team engages students in careful, in-depth analysis of contemporary ethical questions and problems. The team meets in fall and spring semesters to prepare for competition at the regional and national levels (if applicable).

Annual competitions focus on current ethical cases developed by faculty, researchers, and professionals covering a wide range of disciplines, including  business, engineering, journalism, law, medicine, and social work. In the competitions, students demonstrate their ability to (1) understand the facts of the case, (2) articulate the ethical principles involved in the case, (3) present an effective argument on how the case should be resolved, and (4) respond effectively to challenges put forth by the opposing team as well as the panel of expert judges.
