Cultural Awareness Program (CAP)

As a result of participation, an NNU student should become a culturally informed, open-minded, and responsible person who is attentive to cultural diversity and perspectives in a variety of settings. They should seek to understand how their actions affect both local and global communities and address some of the world's most pressing and enduring issues collaboratively and equitably. 

Each undergraduate student must meet the University's General Education Cultural Awareness requirement while attending NNU. A student fulfills the requirement by completing one CAP1 designated course.

* Concurrent credit or transfer courses will not be considered for CAP credit. 

* A faculty-directed research or internship course may receive CAP designation upon approval by the GEC.
