Diversity and Social Justice Requirement

Olympic College recognizes that in an increasingly diverse and interconnected world, the critical examination of difference, power, and equity is an essential part of any education. The Diversity and Social Justice (DSJ) requirement at Olympic College provides such an opportunity through a range of coursework that prepares students to lead responsibly with critical tools and skills for examining topics including but not limited to race, class, gender, sexuality, ability, and sustainability.

Implementation

Beginning Fall 2021, all newly admitted students are required to complete at least five credits in DSJ-approved coursework. These credits may also fulfill OC’s distribution requirements. Students in prof-tech, bachelor’s, and certificate programs are not required to meet the DSJ requirement at this time.

The following courses meet the Diversity & Social Justice (DSJ) requirement:
