At some point before graduation, students must receive credit for one course of at least three credits from a list of Race & Ethnicity courses published each term on the LS&A website: www.lsa.umich.edu/cg/.
These courses will address issues arising from racial or ethnic
intolerance and will meet the following criteria:
Required content. All courses satisfying the requirement
must provide discussion concerning:
the meaning of race, ethnicity, and racism;
racial and ethnic intolerance and
resulting inequality as it occurs in the United States or elsewhere;
comparisons of discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, social class, or gender.
Required focus. Every course satisfying the requirement
must devote substantial, but not necessarily exclusive, attention
to the required content. Although it is hoped that many of these
courses will focus on the United States, it is not required that
they do so. Courses that deal with these issues in other societies, or that study them comparatively, may also meet the requirement.
Credits transferred from another college or university do not
meet the requirement except by successful petition to the Academic
Standards Board.
Credits used to satisfy the R&E requirement also may be
used to satisfy other college requirements.
