Sample Syllabi

This section provides examples of syllabi that incorporate a multicultural approach. Some are for classes where diversity is the explicit focus of the course. Others demonstrate attempts to integrate multiculturalism throughout a course whose main focus is not diversity. Whenever possible, we also offer various versions of the syllabus for the class, to show progress in integrating multiculturalism over time.

While our focus is first to gather syllabi contributed by faculty from MSU's College of Communication Arts and Sciences and then the university at large, we also welcome contributions from educators worldwide. We would appreciate receiving your contribution in electronic format. Please attach your syllabus to an e-mail and send it to us at bucquero@msu.edu
