Service Learning in American Studies (1-3 cr. hrs.)

Enables undergraduates of advanced standing to make intellectual
connections between scholarly pursuits and community involvement.
Students arrange 1-3 credit hours of service work either on creative
projects that benefit a community (howsoever defined), or with local
non-profit organizations, government agencies, activist groups, or
foundations. Under the direction of their faculty sponsor, students
will develop a project outline consistent with American Studies
inquiry and concerns, a method of accountability, and a final
report. (May be repeated for a maximum of 6 credit hours.)
