Abstract
Although cultural competence education has been mandated in baccalaureate nursing education, there are currently three different forms of cultural competence curricula found in baccalaureate nursing programs: those with a nursing culture course, those with a non-nursing culture course and those that integrate culture content throughout the nursing curriculum. The primary purpose of this study was to determine if one of these three forms is more efficacious in improving cultural competence and confidence in nursing students than the other two, and the secondary purpose was to determine if one of the three forms of curricula is more efficacious in improving cultural competence and confidence across academic levels.
