Service Learning
Service Learning is a form of experiential education in which students engage in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs. Students who participate in service learning contribute to the public good of local, national, and/or international communities while they enrich their academic knowledge with real-world applications and develop leadership and citizenship skills. This growing area of higher education encourages community-based scholarship across the curricula of WU in order to enhance student learning, develop student civic engagement, and foster ongoing collaboration with local and global communities.
Students earn 3 credits in one semester for a total of 90-120 work hours. These opportunities are available in select undergraduate programs for Junior or Senior level students who have completed at least 60 credits and have a minimum GPA of 2.5. Service Learning experiences are graded as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory.
