The Diversity Certificate, developed and administered in association with the Department of Multicultural Services, is available to undergraduate students in several colleges at Texas A&M University, including the College of Architecture. Drawing from existing courses, programs and associations within the university, the Diversity Certificate Program enables its students to create, synthesize and integrate academic coursework, co-curricular experience, and service learning engagement in order to demonstrate their preparedness for participation in the modern global economy.

Students who complete the certificate will be able to discuss issues such as race, ethnicity, gender, disability and socioeconomic status, and explain how individual and group behavior affects others in terms of human rights, environmental, social, and economic well-being. 

This program was closed for new enrollments effective November 8, 2024 and inactivated on January 2, 2025. Students enrolled on November 8, 2024 will be allowed to complete the program contingent upon proper processes and approvals.
