The civic engagement minor encourages students to participate as citizens in the democratic process by providing opportunities for active engagement in public policy and direct service to the community. After completing this minor, students are equipped for complex thinking about social issues through opportunities for reflection on issues of poverty, diversity, and social justice. They integrate civic engagement principles with their specific academic disciplines through research in the community and are guided by the culminating capstone and reflection coursework to find ways of putting their knowledge into action in a variety of contexts.
