Cultural Diversity Assessment Mission 

Mission 

UNK's Cultural Diversity (CD) requirement will cultivate knowledge, awareness, respect, understanding, and appreciation of the experiences and values of underrepresented groups and cultures to prepare students to live and work in a diverse world.

Objectives 

  1. Students completing the CD requirement will be able to identify the major contributions of diverse groups to educational, social, and cultural institutions.
  2. Students completing the CD requirement will seek information about diversity issues and be able to distinguish among facts, cultural assumptions, interpretations and opinions related to diversity.
  3. Students completing the CD requirement will have more positive attitudes about individuals who differ from themselves, rejecting any hierarchical conceptions of diversity (i.e. that one group is superior to another)
  4. Students completing the CD requirement will choose to interact with members of groups different from themselves.
