Minors Offered
Managing Diversity in Organizations
Managing Diveristy in Organizations is a joint minor with the Center for Multicultural and Gender Studies and the Department of Management. Through training and development programs, businesses seek ways to educate their employees about working together across cultural and gender lines, considering products and services in relation to cultural variables and operating effectively in a global economy. This minor foregrounds these issues by bringing together the content, approaches, and tools of two disciplines for analyzing and dealing with diversity.
