What is the difference between Cross-Cultural and Alternative Perspectives in the General Education Program?
Both of these perspectives are required to fulfill the Encountering Perspectives on Diversity General Program element. Classes that qualify for cross cultural and alternative perspective are listed in the catalog. The title of a course will either reflect an “A” for Alternative Perspective or a “C” for Cross-Cultural Perspective as shown in the class schedule. Alternative Perspective courses create an awareness and understanding of diversity in the United States, directly addressing issues such as ethnicity, gender, disability, racism, or poverty. Cross-Cultural Perspective courses enhance cross-cultural understandings through examination of other cultures.
