Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Minor

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Minor

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) minor prepares students to work with today’s increasingly diverse and global workforce by exploring the social, institutional, and psychological processes that impact the way employees perceive and interact with one another.

This minor offers students the opportunity to delve into various dimensions of diversity. By engaging in immersive learning activities, students apply this knowledge to real-life scenarios, both personally and professionally. They will cultivate critical thinking abilities, enabling them to assess the wider consequences of organizational policies and practices. Through discussions and self-reflection on power, privilege, and ethics within local and global contexts, students develop a deeper understanding of these topics.
