Cultural Diversity

8. Cultural Diversity--This area is accomplished in similar manners as global studies. When presented as individual courses, black culture and/or women's studies are common.

Millersville does not have a requirement of cultural diversity, although having a "multicultural" component is one of the qualifying criteria for a Perspectives course. There are a significant number of women's studies and black culture courses in the catalog, but they are offered infrequently. There is a danger of interpreting "diversity" too narrowly. Simply bringing students from Lancaster-York-Lebanon's conservative area onto a campus with students and faculty from many other areas will broaden their viewpoints. Extensive lecture series during the academic year also expose students to a diversity of viewpoints. But none of these aspects constitutes a curricular requirement.
