This project focused on understanding student (n = 45) perceptions of cultural responsiveness and accessibility efforts in a gateway course (FCS 100 “Personal and Family Living”). Five sections of FCS 100 are taught each year. FCS 100 serves multiple purposes; Goal Area 5, Purple (Cultural Diversity), FCS Major Required course, FCS Minor Elective course, and our Child, Youth, and Family Services Online Certificate requirement. FCS 100 is taken by a wide variety of students/majors, including PSEO. FCS 100 is primarily delivered as an online asynchronous course and meets Quality Matters (QM) certification standards (since 2015). This project included a mixed-methods Qualtrics survey delivery along with methods, data analysis, discussion, and conclusion. Findings will be discussed along with future directions.
