This article discusses a pilot-study describing education, counseling, and human resource development students' knowledge, attitudes, and experiences regarding their experiences with multicultural education at a large, suburban institution of higher education. The primary source of data was a 21-question survey that focused on students' knowledge, attitudes and experiences regarding multicultural education. Seventeen of these survey questions were rated on a Likert scale, and the last four were open-ended questions. The participants in this study consisted of graduate and undergraduate students completing their last semester of course work in the School of Education and Human Services. One hundred students completed the online survey. Based on the research, it appears that students understand the value of working with others with a pluralistic point of view.
