| description | The study aimed at identifying the level of faculty members’ tolerance towards the cultural diversity between the students from the point of view of the students themselves at the University of Jordan and the relationship with some variables. To achieve this objective, the study used the descriptive method. The data were collected by means of a questionnaire developed according to previous studies. It was distributed to a sample of graduate students in the College of Educational Sciences and King Abdullah II College of Information Technology, which consisted of (89) male and female students. The study found out that the level of faculty members’ tolerance of cultural diversity from the students' point of view was medium. The study also showed that one of the most important aspects of the faculty members' tolerance of cultural diversity lies in respecting the cultural and religious specificity of students, believing in multiculturalism, and evaluating students objectively without discrimination. The results showed that there were statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) among the students attributed to sex, and in favor of males, and there were no statistically significant differences at (α ≤ 0.05) attributed to the college. In light of these results, the study recommended that there should be awareness-raising efforts about the positive role played by positive diversity in improving the educational environment and the interaction between students who enrich their knowledge and contribute to the development of their skills. The study also recommended benefiting from cultural diversity among students and transforming it into a cultural capital that all students would enjoy.
