Students who would be truly educated must have an appreciation of the interrelatedness of and the diversity within cultural traditions. The multicultural understanding requirement recognizes and reflects the full range of human groupings and cultural perspectives as well as the complex relationships among them. Its role is to enhance students' self-understanding and their understanding of the contemporary cultural context, a context characterized by a rich diversity of cultures and experiences in which the Western European intellectual tradition figures as one among many.
Multicultural courses include cross-cultural studies (those courses marked with an "x") and diversity in Western experience (those courses marked with a "y"). All students who enter the University with fewer than sixty (60) semester hours must complete at least one "x" and one "y" course. Students transferring to the University with sixty (60) credits or more must complete one multicultural course from either designation. These courses may be taken as part of the liberal studies requirement or as electives or as part of a student's major.
The multicultural requirement must be complete prior to the receipt of the baccalaureate degree.
