Marriage and family counselors (MFCs) are challenged daily with ethical and legal dilemmas. Faculty members in Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP)—accredited programs have some guidance as to what knowledge base MFC students need to acquire; however, the how-to is left up to each faculty member. This article discusses the curriculum of an ethics course for MFC students, focusing on (a) course objectives and course schedule, (b) active learning techniques in the classroom, (c) homework assignments (including the use of technology), and (d) midterm and final exams. The use of active teaching techniques is encouraged for meeting today’s learning styles.
