Diversity of Human Experience Courses
"D" courses are courses which have a diversity component and focus on the variety of experiences and contributions of individuals and social groups in the United States and internationally, especially of those traditionally denied rights and privleges. These courses are designated with a "D" in the course number. Students take at least one 3 unit "D" course and examine diversity further in the course "Composition and Literature" and in the study of a second language, all of which are part of the core curriculum.
"D" courses are listed as "Diversity of Human Experience" in Section III of the College of Arts and Sciences Core Curriculum course offerings and in Section II of the School of Business Administration's Core Curriculum course offerings.
