Courses Focused on Personal and Social Responsibility (PSR)
In Barry University’s 2014 Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP), personal and social responsibility is defined as “the obligation to strive for excellence, demonstrate integrity, develop competence in ethical reasoning and action, and contribute to the community as local and global citizens.” Elements of personal responsibility include taking responsibility for one’s own learning and development, adhering to the academic honor code, reasoning and acting ethically to achieve one’s goals and aspirations, and living a life that is aligned with one’s moral principles. As students demonstrate personal responsibility, they achieve personal growth.
