Community-Based & Experiential Learning
Connect your academic work with direct experience in the community that meets a community-defined need.
On average, 25 community-based learning courses are offered each year providing students the opportunity to learn about social issues while practicing skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and communication. In addition, there are countless fellowships and internships for taking your civic engagement deeper in the summer months.
Each semester, a number of faculty members teach courses with research or projects based in the community. Many are offered each year so review the list so you can keep these in mind as you map your course schedule!
The Center for Civic Engagement at Davidson has played a central role in community needs assessments and facilitated community-based research projects through academic courses in partnership with faculty.
