John Carroll University / Academics / Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Minor

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Minor

The Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) minor encourages students to engage with social differences and raise awareness of the variety of ways humans experience social bias and injustice in an increasingly diverse world. Students will see how they can reinforce or confront certain interpersonal dynamics and social structures. Students will be empowered to be part of creating more equitable and just environments. 

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging is an interdisciplinary minor comprised of 18 credits, including one required course and 15 credits of electives. The minor is a collaborative venture between the College of Arts & Sciences and the Boler College of Business. 

 

Students are required to take one course for the DEIB minor in Multicultural Diversity in Organizations:

  • MOL 3323 - Leading Multicultural Organizations

In this three-credit class, students will look at difference and inequity in an applied workplace context, learning about specific measures and policies that can help them learn to positively leverage difference within a workplace context.

  • COM 2081: Interpersonal Communication
