Academic service-learning is a pedagogical model that intentionally integrates community service, academic learning, and civic learning.
Because academic service-learning is integrated into discipline-based academic curricula, courses from across the curriculum can take advantage of this pedagogical model. Faculty interested in developing academic service-learning courses are asked to create these courses from the perspective of how the course and the activity in the community advance scholarship and effective teaching.

The purpose of these undergraduate courses is to establish the academic foundations of the students’ internship. Students will integrate knowledge derived from their academic studies with the experiences gained from real-world work settings. The internship presents an opportunity for academic and professional growth. Internship classes will support these work experiences by fostering analytical, interpersonal, and communications skills.
For more information, please see Academic Policies.
The purpose of the “Transforming Undergraduate Education” program (TUE) is to stimulate creative approaches to instruction that increase student access and success while being cost-efficient or reducing instructional costs. The proposal deadline for the 2009-2010 academic year was Feb. 9, 2009.
