Ethics is an important attribute that students must develop to succeed in their academic endeavor and profession. To prepare students with higher ethical standards, it is essential to integrate ethics into the curriculum. A survey questionnaire was used to investigate the ethical standards among students of three different countries. The objective was to evaluate students’ perception on ethical standards using 5 factors: 1) the impact of education and faculty on ethics; 2) students’ attitude towards cheating; 3) the impact of technology on ethical standards; 4) the importance of ethics; and 5) the ethical campus environment. A total of 138 responses were collected from 4 different universities. Analysis of the data showed students’ perception on ethics to be relevant in shaping their own ethical behavior. Students’ perception on cheating showed that they tend to cheat less often in colleges when compared to high schools. Students reported ethics to be important, and they tend to hold themselves to the same ethical standards to their peers. No significant difference was observed in ethical standards among students in Bangladesh, India & USA. College students reported the environment to be more ethical due to higher ethical standards of the faculty.
