A number of courses have been designated Community Engagement (CE) courses, a designation which appears on the transcript. These are academic courses that require an out-of-class experience that involves at least 15 hours of volunteer work for community members or organizations (including for-profit and not-for-profit community and government agencies). A Community Engagement course is not necessary for General Education or major requirements, but students may find them useful for building additional skills, further informing one’s academic field of study, positively impacting the community, and working collaboratively.
