As part of the requirements for any bachelor's degree, all students must satisfy the diversity requirement. Normally a
student must complete two courses chosen from the diversity course list.
Students are required to take one course addressing domestic (U.S.) issues and one course addressing global
issues.
At least one course must be taken as part of the Kent Core.
Students may satisfy the second diversity requirement in one of three ways:
i. They may complete a second diversity course from the Kent Core, which also will count toward fulfilling the Kent Core.
ii. They may complete any non-Kent Core diversity course. This course may also count toward major or minor program
requirements or may be used as an elective.
iii. They may, with approval from their dean, satisfy the second diversity requirement by completing one semester of
study in another country.
The following questions have come from advisors:
(a) Can veterans who were stationed abroad (and who document their experience immersed in the
culture) be able to apply this satisfy the global requirement?
(b) Can international students satisfy the requirement (global or domestic?) for their study here, which is
another country?
(c) Can a student fulfill the requirement with study in another country that does not last a full semester?
The first item of business is discussion on the questions above.
4. Discussion of exception forms to use NURS 60101 in place of WIC course NURS 40005. (see JMCgraduate-WIC pdf posted on the URCC website as an example of how this has been handled in the past)
