Global Learning and Diversity
We May Have Different Stripes, but We’re All Tigers
The university’s strategic plan calls for expansion of global and cultural learning and understanding for students and faculty, an extension of campus-wide goals to foster diversity.
Diversity at Auburn encompasses the whole of human experience and includes qualities such as race, gender, ethnicity, physical ability, nationality, age, religion, sexual orientation, economic status and veteran status. These and other socially and historically important attributes reflect the complexity of our increasingly diverse student body, local community and national population, and diversity and international learning further reflects Auburn’s drive to provide students with a superior education to better serve the world’s needs.
The Multicultural Center exists to applaud differences—enhancing cultural experiences through outreach, service and scholarship. By promoting diversity, the center seeks to sustain a supportive environment for Auburn's students, faculty, staff, administration and community.
The center’s vision is based on cross-cultural integration and inclusion, and it supports academic and cultural programs designed to broaden our understanding of culture and diminish the origin of personal biases.
The Office of International Education provides leadership support to academic units and faculty to help integrate Auburn’s internationalization goals campus-wide; assists faculty and students interested in having an international education experience either at the university or internationally through Auburn Abroad; and promotes international understanding on campus and in the broader community.
Auburn Abroad allows students to explore the world. Each year, hundreds of Auburn students take classes taught in English at accredited universities abroad, and most of the programs have a culture or language component. Freshmen and sophomores usually take general coursework, while juniors and seniors and graduate students may focus on their chosen fields. Programs last from four weeks up to a full academic year. Students can travel to China, Korea, Central and South America, Egypt, and many countries in Europe.
