Community Experiential Learning Program

The Community Experiential Learning (CEL) Program offers students the opportunity to explore the relationship between their classroom learning and the broader community. With faculty guidance, students design their own community experiences and receive between one and four academic credit(s) upon completion. Students may choose to work as an intern with a community organization/agency or to explore a community issue through independent research. The community can be as close as a neighborhood just beyond the campus or on the other side of the world.

Students may participate in the CEL Program anytime during their academic career. Good standing at the University and a 2.0 GPA is required for acceptance into the Program. CEL courses are offered throughout the entire year. Ideally students should plan their CEL projects during the term prior to their implementation, but they can be added at any time during the term.
