In a world where issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion are increasingly recognized as crucial to our success as a society, this elective group provides grounding in the basics of these issues.
The elective group in Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion is a 15-credit program that will add value to and complement any degree you're pursuing.
Overview
The main goals of the Elective Group are to introduce students to current issues in gender, Indigeneity, sexuality, race and ethnicity, and cultural studies, while simultaneously deepening their understanding of how institutions change and/or are resistant to transformation.
