Diversity at Auburn University encompasses the whole of human experience and includes such human qualities 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.

Our school affirms the value of a diversity of viewpoints and ideas. We strive to recognize, reflect, celebrate, and learn about diversity to promote growth and understanding. We recognize that inclusion is essential to learning. We strive to create an inclusive curriculum and intentionally incorporate diversity into our courses.
