EDUC 2245 - Understanding Cultural Diversity

This course challenges students to think and talk about issues that they must consider as citizens in the multi-cultural American society, and in today’s increasingly inter-connected world. A conceptual framework is studied in which students gain understanding about the inter-relatedness of diverse cultural norms and standards; individual values, attitudes and behaviors; and institution policies and procedures. Students will gain a better understanding of the issues related to diversity concepts of race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, gender, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. A field experience component is integrated into the coursework, which allows students to experience in different multi-cultural environments.
