Catalog Description (exactly as you wish it to appear in the catalog):
___ This description is different from the current catalog description.
All courses approved for this requirement must have human diversity/multiculturalism as a major aspect of the class and also must be directly relevant to present day society, as demonstrated by the syllabus and student assignments.
Courses must also meet at least one of the following criteria: (Check all that are applicable.)
____ The course is comparative in nature (multi-cultural or
cross-population).
____ The course treats multiple aspects of diversity and/or culture (such
as race, gender, age, class, etc.) in a
single area of study (e.g. the
American West, the health care setting, literature, etc).
____ The course is specific to a particular group of people or culture
that is not present or is under-represented
in the general
social-economic-political framework of the United States.
Attach a course syllabus with sufficient detail that allows the reader to
understand the degree to which the requirements are met. If not readily
obvious from the syllabus, it may be desirable to attach student assignments or
other supplementary material. See "Guidelines for Diversity Courses"
for additional information.
