Course-Based Learning

Each semester approximately 40 USD courses incorporate community service-learning, supported by faculty/student leader teams. Currently 75 courses from 48 faculty include such a component, and the program continues to grow. Community partnerships include cross-border partnerships and outreach to recent immigrants.   Service-learning is supported by the faculty Experiential Education Committee which promotes and recognizes innovative teaching through internships, research, classroom simulation, as well as service-learning.

"Service-learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in activities that address human and community needs together with structured opportunities intentionally designed to promote student learning and development." -- Barbara Jacoby
