The Department of Human Relations and Multicultural Education (HURL) provides education in self-awareness and skills essential for living and working in a democratic, socially just society, environmentally sustainable world. The department addresses issues of oppression and social justice related to race, gender, age, class, religion, disability, physical appearance, sexual orientation and nationality/culture. Human Relations and Multicultural Education is an interdisciplinary applied field committed to addressing questions of equity, self-determination, resource allocation, and quality of life facing people around the world.
HURL programs and courses attempt to represent the perspectives of groups that have historically been excluded from the western cannon. The department is also dedicated to teaching investigative and critical thinking skills whereby participants examine mainstream and alternative viewpoints for values, veracity, and outcomes. The department serves as an academic and developmental resource to students, faculty, university programs, departments, administration, and community organizations. The department provides programs, courses, resources, and leadership in meeting the goals set forth in the SCSU mission statement and in various accreditation standards on diversity and global awareness.
The 17 credit minor is designed as a short or second minor; the 23 credit minor provides an option for those desiring more extensive study. Both minors are available to individuals in all degree programs. NOTE: HURL 491/492 should be taken near the end of the program.
