Learning about Social Diversity: The Undergraduate Experience and Intergroup Tolerance.

Henderson-King, Donna; Kaleta, Audra

Journal of Higher Education, v71 n2 p142-64 Mar-Apr 2000

Examined effects of diversity-related courses on the intergroup tolerance and sociopolitical beliefs of 131 undergraduate students at the University of Michigan before and after taking a required race and ethnicity course. Comparison with other students suggest that such courses can buffer students from declines in intergroup tolerance exhibited by the general student population. (DB)
