PHIL 140 : COMMUNITY AND SERVICE LEARNING (CO)

Students encounter practical community needs and goals, develop skills in critical thinking and problem solving, and reflect on the relationship between theory and practice. They explore their commitment to community-oriented values, practice skills that enhance citizenship, and learn how to care for those in need. Combined course and internship includes hands-on experience in an approved community agency or religious or humanitarian organization, and critical reading, discussion, and written reflection about service work. Students make connections between personal and professional goals, their roles as liberal arts students, and their evolving commitment.
