We offer a truly unique learning environment. Our faculty highly values student diversity as well as diversity in the curriculum by specifically including material on and from the perspectives of historically marginalized groups such as women, American Indians, Black Americans, immigrants, Latinos/as, LGBTQ people, and others. We also value international perspectives and students, whose participation in our classes greatly enriches the experience of students and faculty, and we strongly encourage our students to internationalize their experiences by immersing themselves in other culture by studying abroad.
