CCIM Cultural Diversity Program Overview
The Institute’s Cultural Diversity Advisory Board’s goal is to achieve “full representation” by having a 25% cultural diverse population in line with the U.S. population. The Institute will accomplish this by introducing the commercial investment educational opportunities to individuals who might not have considered or had the opportunity to consider this field as a career option. In 2007, about 200 students have been able to take advantage of this program with 30% continuing with the core courses.
This course is approved for 14 Clock Hours Credits through the State of Washington
