GEP U.S. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Note: This requirement applies to students matriculated Fall 2023 and after. Students matriculated prior to Fall 2023 should use the GEP U.S. Diversity requirement.
Requirement (3 Credit Hours)
- Choose course(s) from the university approved GEP U.S. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion course list.
- Special Note: If a student changes a General Education course except for HES courses from a letter grade to credit-only (S/U), then the course will not satisfy the GEP requirements. Consult your academic advisor if you have questions.
Double-counting
- A course taken to satisfy a Major requirement may also satisfy this requirement if the course is on the approved GEP U.S. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion course list.
- A course that satisfies the GEP U.S. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion requirement may also satisfy the Global Knowledge co-requisite if the course also exists on the university approved GEP co-requisite course list.
Rationale
The study of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the United States provides students the opportunity to consider questions of difference and culture, identity and community, privilege and oppression, and power and responsibility in our nation, and to gain an understanding of how these issues affect both individuals and communities.
Category Objectives
Each course in U.S. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion will provide instruction and guidance that help students to:
- Analyze how diverse identities shape and/or are shaped by cultural and societal influences. (For the purposes of the USDEI category, diverse identities include but are not limited to religious, gender, ethnic, racial, class, socioeconomic status, citizenship status, sexual orientation, disability, and/or age identities.)
- Analyze and interpret the causes and consequences of historical, social, political, and/or economic processes that produce structured inequalities in the US.
- Examine and analyze how social actions and interactions between people of diverse identities affect equality and social justice in the US.
