Inclusive Excellence
Embracing the inherent value of a vibrant student body and community. Over the years, the definition of “diversity” has evolved and expanded, and while there is no single, universally accepted definition of the word, we understand and embrace the inherent value of a vibrant student body and community that encompasses a wide spectrum of backgrounds, ideas, and experiences.
The Farmer School of Business embraces an inclusive concept of diversity that considers people from a variety of under-represented groups, including, but not limited to, socioeconomic status, race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, military or service affiliation, gender identity, sexual identity, and sexual orientation.
As scholars and educators, we recognize the competitive landscape that our soon-to-be graduates will face as they embark upon their careers. To succeed in a global marketplace, our graduates must be more creative and nimble. To prepare them, we must attract and retain diverse students, faculty, and staff who bring with them a variety of experiences, beliefs, and skills. Welcoming all types of diversity and leveraging the individual talents of all students, and faculty is a critical component inherent in all world-class business schools.
FSB Students must complete at least one course that provides an understanding of business diversity perspectives. The approved list of courses includes courses from all divisions and may overlap with Foundation courses, majors, or electives.
