Diversity Equity and Inclusion Certificate Program
Undergraduate Certificates
Undergraduate Certificates give students a grounding in a particular skill set, allowing
them to supplement their major with learning in other disciplines. Each certificate
aligns with National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) career readiness
competencies, which include Communication, Equity and Inclusion, Leadership, and Technology.
Each certificate culminates in an Applied Experience, an internship or service-learning
course that involves students in applying their learning outside the classroom.
Some certificates include WCore and Honors courses, which can meet requirements both
in the certificate and in WCore or Honors. Note that certificates are designed for
undergraduates enrolled in a degree program, and only students completing certificates
as part of a degree are eligible for financial aid.

Double Dipping Between Certificate and Majors/Minors
“Double-dipping” here refers to (1) allowing students in a particular major or minor pursue a particular certificate and (2) allowing students who pursue a certificate alongside a major/minor to count a course toward both programs. The following guidelines relate to double-dipping between majors/minors and certificates that share courses. No other restrictions apply for programs that do not share courses with particular certificates.
Students in the following majors/minors and also concurrently pursuing the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Certificate MAY count courses towards both programs:
- Communication major or minor
- Educational Studies major or minor
- Elementary Education major
- History major or minor
- Literature, Media, and Writing major or minor
- Film Studies minor
- Gender Studies minor
- Outdoor Education & Leadership major or minor
- Sociology major or minor
- Special Education minor
- TESOL minor
