Equity & Inclusion Certificate

---

This certificate in Equity and Inclusion will equip students to build self-awareness, examine others’ perspectives, address diversity issues in specific contexts, and seek equity and inclusion grounded in social scientific evidence and theory.

Why pursue this certificate?

To meet the increased demand in our culture and economy for diversity awareness and action, the multidisciplinary Equity and Inclusion Certificate provides a stand-alone credential, independent of any major or other degree program. Learning will occur across multiple disciplines, allowing students to deepen critical inquiry, discovery, and creative communication, while securing highly marketable career skills.
