The Multicultural Literature Certificate offers students the opportunity to develop cultural competencies that are urgently needed in the twenty-first-century workplace and to prepare for graduate study. This certificate provides an option for students who wish to pursue this type of education through sustained study and analysis of literary texts. Students will build their knowledge of cultural diversity by taking courses focused on multi-ethnic American literature and world literatures written in English or read in translation.
