Sociology of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (12)


Certificate of Undergraduate Study
Coordinator: Kristie Crane, Department of Sociology

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Certificate is designed to be a road map of courses for students who are looking to focus their studies on the role of race, class, gender, sexuality, immigration, and other dimensions of diversity and inequality in our society. This can assist students pursuing careers in education, social work, social services, management, law enforcement, DEI, or human resources to name a few possible careers. 
 
The certificate program is open to all NIU undergraduates. Students must maintain good academic standing in the university, maintain a 2.00 grade point average in certificate courses and complete all certificate course work within six calendar years. All courses for the certificate must be completed at NIU. Certificate courses in Sociology may be counted toward undergraduate degree requirements in the department.
