Minor in Diversity Studies
The graduate minor in Diversity Studies requires 9 semester credit hours.
The Diversity Studies minor is an interdisciplinary program that encourages students to increase their knowledge of their own culture as well as the cultures of diverse groups in the United States and our global society. The minor offers opportunities to learn about cultural variation in human behavior across different cultures, and about theories and methods of how to work and conduct research with culturally diverse populations using a global perspective. Students will explore issues related to race, ethnicity, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, and physical ability and disability in these specialized topics.
