Description:

This introductory survey course introduces students to the field of study related to ethnicity and diversity. Students learn about differences attributed to people based on age, race, gender, sexual orientation and identity, national origin, body adornment, physical ability, mental ability or cultural background. These perceived differences are the social, emotional, cultural and historical forces that have shaped the development of America's ethnic and minority groups over the last 500 years. Students develop an understanding of the factors that create the attitudes and behaviors of Americans in relationship to those who are perceived to be different.
