Psychology of Diversity vs Intro to Sociology: which fits a diversity requirement?

Your college decides which courses count, so check its list or ask your advisor. Psychology of Diversity is about diversity throughout: identity, prejudice, stereotypes, culture and bias reduction. Intro to Sociology covers race, ethnicity, gender and inequality in some chapters, among many other topics.

Right now Psychology of Diversity comes with UPI Study's plans, such as Lifetime, rather than as a single course. Intro to Sociology can be taken on its own or with a plan.

Both cover prejudice and discrimination; race, ethnicity and gender; culture; and research methods. Psychology of Diversity looks at them through the person (identity, stereotypes, bias); Intro to Sociology through groups and institutions (stratification, family, education, government).
