Race and Culture

Our growing diversity as a people, and our increasing awareness of the potential richness and possible difficulties that diversity brings, are current realities for people in the United States. More and more, people are realizing they live and work in a society that is multicultural and global. This is very important to understand.

This course is designed to help students better understand the history and complexity of this diverse society and to be better prepared to live in it. Because people need to have an understanding of their own society before they can interact effectively with other cultures, this course focuses on issues of race, culture, and gender in the United States.

This course fulfills 3 credits of the Diversity Requirement for all undergraduate students enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Education and Social Services, and the School of Allied Health and Science.
