It doesn't matter how many ethics courses are offered and taken.

The only thing I ever retweeted on my otherwise completely empty and unused Twitter account so that I could copy and paste it when needed:

"For evil to triumph, all that is required is for good men to respond rationally to incentives."

You learn all your basic ethics during early childhood, not in university courses. Most of the rest is the quote above. University classes talk to and train parts of the brain whose involvement in the ethics of your decisions is minimal.
