Ethical Principles, Critical Thinking
and Writing for Today’s Business

Why Earn a Business Ethics & Writing Certificate?

You can’t expect to be an effective business leader if you’re not focused on making ethically sound decisions. However, making those ethical decisions isn’t always enough—you have to be able to break down those decisions and communicate your reasoning to show key stakeholders why your decision is correct. That’s why Suffolk created the Business Ethics & Writing certificate, to give burgeoning business leaders like you the skill set to become transformative decision makers. When you earn a business ethics & writing certificate, you’ll: explore the nuances of ethics in business | critically analyze business communications | hone your business writing skills to be a more persuasive communicator | build a strong ethical foundation for personal and professional decision-making

Meet the Faculty

Bruce Paolozzi

Dr. Paolozzi’s interest in business ethics stems from his interest in applying academic theory to everyday life. He has worked in various positions in the business world for over 30 years, for both for-profit and non-profit companies. He has been in positions that require extensive business writing for well over a decade. This is particularly the case in his fundraising work in the non-profit sector. He is a speaker on his fundraising specialty and has presented to colleagues, professional organizations, and trustee boards. He has also taught undergraduate philosophy and ethics classes in California and Massachusetts. He holds a PhD from Claremont Graduate University, an MA from Claremont Graduate University and a BA from Vanguard University of Southern California.

Dr. Paolozzi’s academic research focuses on perspectives of the ultimate in light of different dimensions of the human experience. He works to use pre-modern thought in conjunction with post-modern philosophy and the sciences to find novel solutions to perennial problems in philosophy.
