Academic/Service-Learning
Academic/Service-Learning programs integrate service with reciprocal learning, critical thinking, social analysis, and personal reflection to promote responsible, ethical citizenship. Download the 4th credit option contract.
Academic/Service-Learning programs and experiences include:
- 4th Credit Option
- First-Year Seminar Assistant
- The ASL program supports educational activities, programs, and curricula (carried out in partnership with a public or non-profit agency, organization, or project in the community) that promote student learning through experiences associated with community service and civic engagement.
ASL experiences and opportunities incorporate both curricular and co-curricular service-learning. Curricular Service-Learning is integrated into an academic course and carries academic credit. Co-curricular Service-Learning complements academic work, but is not directly connected to a course or academic program and does not carry academic credit.
Goals:
- Integrate what students are learning in the classroom with experiential learning and service outside of the classroom
- Have students develop their service skills while exploring the underlying issues that face the agencies and clients they serve and develop resolutions for these issues
- Work with faculty in their role as facilitators to have students reflect on service experiences and the academic links they discover in the classroom and through their service
Objectives:
- Seek opportunities with agencies that complement coursework and meet the requirements for service learning
- Recruit faculty willing to include a service component to their courses
- Work with community partners, faculty, and students to establish service-learning objectives
