To satisfy the Gen Ed Cultural Diversity and Community (D) requirement, all students must successfully complete the approved 3-credit course meeting the D criteria described below. This course may also count for credit in a student's major or minor program or may satisfy another Gen Ed requirement.

Cultural diversity refers to the differences among people in terms of beliefs, customs, values, politics, and experiences. In essence, culture is a worldview; it is both learned and evolved. The following factors are seen as underlying these differences: age, economics, education, gender, geography, language, nationality, occupation, physical ability, race and ethnicity, religious affiliation, and/or sexual orientation among others.
