The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion certificate encourages students to seek out opportunities to learn about the broad variety of human experiences. Although it is housed within the College of Arts and Sciences, all university students may complete the program. The curriculum encompasses a selection of courses that focus on people in societies who have been historically underrepresented and underprivileged. Current Quinnipiac students who complete these courses will earn a certificate that reflects the commitment they have made to diversifying their college curriculum.
Following completion of the DEI Certificate Program, students will:
- Have a firm understanding of social differences and inequalities and understand how their own biases and beliefs impact this understanding.
- Have the knowledge and skills to be able to identify and critique discrimination.
- Be able to examine peoples’ experiences based on gender, religion, socioeconomic status, age, sexual orientation or other socially constructed categories.
- Have the skills necessary to listen and learn from others’ experiences of struggle and agency.
- Understand their roles in impacting social differences and inequalities and have the tools to take such action.
