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.
