An online Graduate Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion will prepare students to become proactive to ensure that they understand the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workplace. The 12-credit hour graduate certificate is designed for a wide range of professional backgrounds in recognition of our increasingly diverse world and workplaces. The certificate provides both the knowledge and tools to develop, promote, and support inclusive environments. The demand for a better understanding of diversity and inclusion is high and will continue to grow. A lack of diversity and inclusion is one of the top risk factors for workplace harassment, according to the US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. We see it in the racial and ethnic identities, cultural backgrounds, ages, skill sets, languages, and other identifying markers that employees possess.
To be eligible for the online Graduate Certificate in Diversity and Inclusion, students must possess a four-year bachelor's degree from an accredited U.S. institution or an international credential deemed equivalent to a four-year bachelor's degree. GRE scores are NOT required for admission to the graduate certificate program. All courses are designed by faculty and offered online as 8-week, 3-credit hour courses.
