Addressing Cultural Diversity and Global Competence

Abstract

This chapter addresses Hispanic college students' matriculation at Regis University through its Dual Language Program. It covers the inception of this program through completion, describing each phase of the program, its structure, staff, and partnerships, as well as the students' development, struggles, and successes. The research presents new data for Hispanic undergraduate and graduate students in a bilingual setting, resulting in the funneling of new bilingual culturally competent professionals in this diverse and increasingly global world. It also provides recommendations for future research.
