2 creditsGE PR-SUndergraduateStudent Option

How do you change the world, working alone and in concert with others? To find out students spend the quarter learning about how one non-profit organization of their choosing creates change in their community. Students research an agency, focusing on who is served, how funding works and how real change is created.

  • All students from any college or high school can enroll.
  • From the Instructor: Students will research one agency that focuses on social change.

From RateMyProfessors, which is student-submitted and not a survey. Small review counts move a long way on one bad quarter.
