Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Certificate
The 21st century workplace is one filled with diversity — with workers of different ages, different religions, different genders, different cultures, with different beliefs, languages, ways of thinking, abilities, ways of communicating, and so much more. Many jobs today, regardless of location, require working with other people who are quite different from each other.
This foundational certificate will equip students with the appropriate skills and knowledge needed for competently working with diverse groups of individuals of differing abilities, age, ethnicity/race, gender/sexual orientation, religion/spirituality, and socioeconomic status; the certificate also addresses the University’s global awareness and cultural diversity initiatives by infusing respect for cultural differences in the curriculum.
Prerequisite(s): PSY 101 (Introduction to Psychology Or Equivalent), SOC 101 (Introduction to Sociology Or Equivalent), or PHI 100 (Introduction to Critical Thinking)
