DIVERSITY REQUIREMENT

Guidelines

1.  As part of the requirements for any baccalaureate degree, all students must satisfy the Diversity Requirement. Normally, a student must complete two courses chosen from the list of approved diversity courses.

2.  At least one course must be taken as part of the Liberal Education Requirements (LER) and thus cannot be in the student's major field.

3.  Students may satisfy the second diversity course requirement in one of three ways:

a. They may complete a second diversity course from the LER list. This course may also count toward the LER but in that case cannot be in the student's major field.

b.  They may complete any non-LER diversity course. This course may also count toward major or minor program requirements or may be used as an elective.

c. They may, with approval from their dean, satisfy the second diversity course requirement by completing one semester of study in another country.

4.  Students are required to take one course addressing domestic (U.S.) issues and one course addressing global issues.

Please consult the Undergraduate Catalog for a listing of approved diversity courses.
