In preparation for the new diversity Gen Ed requirements, the campus living-learning programs are quickly ramping-up their 1 credit (7-week) course offerings that will fulfill the new DVCC general education requirement*.

Forthcoming changes to the Gen Ed Diversity requirements include:

New course categories: Understanding Plural Societies (DVUP) courses will become Understanding Structures of Racism and Inequality (DVUS), and Cultural Competence (DVCC) courses will become Navigating Diverse Social Environments (DVSE).
New content: DVUS courses will include fact-based, nuanced discussions of systemic and structural racism throughout history and across the world, whereas DVSE courses will offer instruction in communication, conflict resolution, teamwork, and coalition-building skills essential for constructive civic engagement.
Broader learning opportunities: when these changes are fully implemented, students will take ONE (1) DVUS AND ONE (1) DVSE course.
