SMC 150 - Community Engagement: A Retrospective Learning Experience

Upper Division

Concurrently
N/A

Prerequisites
Students must have completed:

A minimum of 20 hours of service/internship/praxis in a community setting (i.e., nonprofit organization, hospital, school, etc.)
During college
Be able to relate that experience to a college course (similar to what they would be doing if they were taking a CE course).
Receive instructor approval to register so the instructor can confirm their experiences and the course they identified.

This course is intended for students who have already completed significant work/service/praxis (20 hours minimum) that is directly related to coursework and that occurred during their time at Saint Mary’s College, but who did not receive community engagement (CE) credit for that work/service/praxis. Possibilities include completed internships in fields related to coursework (e.g., teaching, business), completed volunteer work in hospitals for students who have taken science courses, completed political action work for students who have taken politics or sociology classes, etc. Students will actively and critically reflect upon these experiences and integrate them in their academic understanding of the world to fulfill the community engagement requirement. Instructor approval required.
