CULTURAL DIVERSITY GRADUATION REQUIREMENT
UW-STOUT
(10/26/07)
(Note as of 3/7/08: UW-Stout is currently in the process of revising their Ethnic Studies Requirement
and the courses that will satisfy it.)
Title: Ethnic Studies Requirement
Language: The university requires that you take ethnic studies courses to learn about the diverse
cultures that make up the United States. Ethnic studies courses are identified as ESA, ESB, or ESC.
ESA courses deal directly with an American culture. ESB courses integrate appreciation and
understanding of American cultural groups into course subject matter. ESC courses include a significant
multicultural component secondary to other course goals. Students are required to take either:
(1) Two ESA courses, or (2) One ESA course and one ESB course, or (3) One ESA course
and two ESC courses, or (4) One ESB course and two ESC courses, or (5) Three ESB courses,
or (6) Two ESB courses and one ESC course.
