Study in Critical Cultural Competence is designed to help you learn how to appreciate your own cultural identity while developing the ability to examine and understand your orientation to other people's cultural identities, such as class, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.

The certificate program will help you acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes you'll need in order to relate effectively across cultures in diverse environments, both domestic and international. You'll become more aware of treating people fairly, equitably, and thoughtfully; of being concerned with issues of power, privilege, and social justice; and of understanding culture-related privilege and disprivilege.

The program will help you prepare for work in all sorts of fields, such as business, communication, education, health, psychology, and social work.
