| Abstract |
Explored the attitudinal change of undergraduate students in a social work program after completing a course on human diversity, which includes materials on national origin, race, ethnicity, culture, class, gender, sexual orientation, and disabilities. A total of 153 students participated in the study. A cross-sectional pre/post survey design with non-randomized comparison groups was employed in this research over a 3-yr period. The findings suggest that a course on human diversity had a positive impact on junior level students attitudes on the topic of diversity and that these attitudes continued to be evident in students enrolled in more advanced social work courses.
