Earn a certificate in service learning and 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. By earning the certificate in service learning and civic engagement, you can boost your cultural and civic credentials, build your network and demonstrate to potential employers that you’re ready to lead a socially responsible charge.

The certificate in service learning and civic engagement can be added to any major. It requires 18 hours:
  • A 3 credit-hour course, Foundations of Service Learning and Civic Engagement
  • Four “S-designated” (service learning) courses, from within or outside your major
  • An e-portfolio (introduced in the Foundations course)
  • A 3 credit-hour course, Leadership Through Service Capstone
