Minor in Diversity in Higher Education

25-28 credits

This interdisciplinary minor will develop multicultural knowledge and competencies that contribute to the development of culturally effective administrators/practitioners who are open to self-examination, are flexible and knowledgeable about diversity, and are constantly seeking to promote cross-cultural and global understanding.  The minor offers an undergraduate background for advanced study in higher education, student affairs administration, as well as graduate studies in public service/public sector areas.
