Program Description
The Diversity certificate is a timely choice for all students, especially those who are interested in understanding the causes and consequences of diversity and inequality. The program uses multiple perspectives and theories to teach students the impacts - both positive and negative - of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and disability in society.
To earn the Diversity Certificate, students must complete one required course on social inequality, 3 Diversity certificate electives, and two allied diversity courses from a department other than Sociology. Department choices range from Anthropology to Social Work, Disability Studies to Political Science. An enriched and informed outlook is not the only benefit of completing the diversity certificate; the varied skills you will gain will also open the doors to many careers and job opportunities.
Program Admissions Requirements
The University-conferred Certificate in Diversity is awarded to students (non-majors and majors) who have included diversity-specific courses among their elective sociology credit hours and allied work.
Students must apply to the Undergraduate Advisor.
