Community-Based
Learning
Service-learning
courses are an integral component of the University of San Francisco’s
undergraduate curriculum, providing students with community-based lessons about
social justice issues and their own potential to be agents of change. Since
2002, all USF undergraduate students have been required to complete one or more
of these courses in order to graduate. The University’s service-learning
requirement offers a central mechanism for achieving the mission of “educating
minds and hearts to change the world.” The Community-Based Learning
program includes Faculty Development, Advocates for Community Engagement (ACEs)
and Community Partner Development.
