A minor in Intercultural Studies is an excellent choice for students interested in improving their intercultural and critical thinking skills. It compliments degrees in the College of Health Professions, College of Pharmacy, and College of Business, especially for students who wish to work with diverse populations of clients and patients.
The area of modern languages has designed this minor to compliment CORE+ classes. We hope students will find the minor not simply a convenience but a means to further explore different cultures and learn how to effectively communicate with others from different cultural backgrounds.
Goals for the minor:
1) Students will develop intercultural knowledge, understanding, and tolerance.
2) Students will develop the ability to effectively communicate with and relate to others from various cultural backgrounds.
3) Students will explore the cultural dynamics within society in order to better understand culture, power, and privilege.
