We have a few courses dedicated to multicultural topics:

Conversations About Racism: This course is designed to provide readings, discussions, and personal experiences to help you explore the topic of race, your own racial identity, and what race means for relationships on and off campus. And to do so in a safe environment where questions or dissent will be respected and welcomed and learned from. We will also study racism—both personal and institutional—and how it affects individuals and groups in our society. Special consideration will be given to the connections (positive and negative) that exist between Christian faith and race in American society.

During the semester, we will
• Read texts that help us understand more fully racial identities, including each of our own
• Discuss issues related to race, racism, and faith
• Examine where racial diversity exists or could be fostered in the Huntington University community
• Attend a single church this semester (five Sundays minimum) where you are a racial minority
• Write an essay paper in which you reflect thoughtfully on race and Christian faith
