Community-Based Courses For Students

Community-Based Learning & Reseach courses offer undergraduate students the opportunity to experience service-learning as part of an existing course. Students complete 20 hours of community service or a service project related to their course content and facilitated by the faculty member.

CB courses are a great way for students to put their education to use and get practice with hands-on skill application. Examples of hour-based experiences in the past have included translation work in language courses, which can seen in the SPAN 458 example on this page.

Learn how to find CB courses and log hours for them below!
