The Inclusive Excellence Certificate Program

The Inclusive Excellence Certificate Program advances UCI’s commitment to equity, diversity, inclusion and free speech. It equips the campus community – undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff at both the main campus and medical center – to appreciate UCI from the vantage points of different campus constituencies. This 20-hour program consists of two courses: a core course on UCI as a Minority Thriving University, and choice of one elective on either Community or Wellness. Each course aligns with a pillar of the Inclusive Excellence Action Plan.
