Community-Based Learning
During these experiences, it is expected that students gain intensive experience applying principles of civic and community engagement and disciplinary knowledge and skills in a community setting. Community-based learning experiences are diverse and range in duration and intensity.
The major differentiating factors for these experiences are that they do not necessarily include the reciprocal or mutually-beneficial partnerships or reflection components required in service learning courses.
Some examples of community-based learning experiences include:
- Internships
- Practica
- Capstones
- Student Teaching
