Why study Service Learning & Civic Engagement?

In our increasingly diverse and global economy, organizations are looking to hire employees with cultural competencies - people who are prepared to make a positive contribution to the community.

Service Learning (SL) is a specially designed learning experience in which students combine reflection with structured participation in community-based projects to achieve specified learning outcomes as part of an academic course and/or program requirement.

Admission Requirements

The certificate is open to all students.

There are four types of Service Learning: Direct Service Learning, Indirect Service Learning, Research-Based Service Learning, and Advocacy Service Learning. Students who pursue a certificate in Service Learning are those interested in sectors of the workforce that revolve around public policy, strengthening communities, developing critical skills that can be used in advocacy work, and those who want to work in reducing stereotypes and facilitating cultural and racial understanding.
