Abstract: As evidenced by the recent revitalization of guidelines for general learning objectives for business ethics education by the two primary undergraduate business accrediting agencies, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools in Business (AACSB) and the Accrediting Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP), undergraduate business ethics education is of significance importance today. However, the specific ways in which business schools implement and measure business ethics education remains quite diverse. This study was designed to survey and compare current undergraduate business ethics education measurement preferences in national liberal arts colleges in the United States. The results indicate that, while preferences for measurement methods centered upon the ability to apply ethics concepts, the support for any use of standardized testing of business ethics learning objectives, whether based in ethics application or conceptual knowledge alone, was clearly divided
