GENERAL EDUCATION SERVICE LEARNING

Catalog description

The General Service course is an elective course that will allow students to apply the skills and proficiencies they develop through the General Education curriculum to serving the needs of a defined community. As students draw on the ideas and skills developed through their General Eduation courses, they will through this service experience combine academic theory with real-life experience, understanding their academic work in light of their service to others, fostering their sense of civic engagement, and sharpening their insights into themselves and their places in their communities. It allows students then to gain academic credit for service work undertaken outside of that prescribed as part of a major or program requirement.
