Cultural Competence Requirement
Cultural Competence courses prepare students to live in increasingly diverse domestic and international environments. These courses encourage students to use critical thinking skills to develop an understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion. The goal of these courses is for students to be able to interact with those from other cultures and to see the world from a broader perspective.
For completion of the AA/AS degree, students must complete at least one cultural competence course (listed below by General Education category).
