The Intercultural Competence Certificate for undergraduates will provide participants with multicultural competencies such as socio-historical knowledge and behavioral foundations, enabling them to connect effectively and interact productively with a diverse workforce. The certificate will not only expand individuals' understandings about difference (racial/ethnic, economic class, gender, ability, sexuality) but also enable participants to design and implement cultural competence training within varied social institutions.

b. an ability to interact respectfully and productively with diverse populations
c. a self-understanding through transformative self-reflection
