The Certificate in Graduate Study in Diversity & Inclusion will educate professionals who can help create diverse workspaces where innovation can thrive when people are able to work, volunteer, and govern because of their differences. Rooted in ethnographic methodology, the program will provide students with knowledge and methodologies to help specific organizations or institutions work towards building diverse and inclusive communities. This work requires deep knowledge of cultures, history, ideas, social structures, institutions, and politics, which are concepts the College of Humanities & Social Sciences [CHSS] has been exploring for generations.
Because this program is housed in CHSS and is grounded in disciplinary methodologies, graduates will be prepared to work in a wide range of contexts, adaptable to the needs of their industry or community. For most, this certificate will add an expertise for an existing professional to be a leader in issues of diversity and inclusion.
