BA in Community Studies

The major uniquely integrates scholarship and civic engagement through a core curriculum that both prepares students for the field study and enables them to analyze their experience in the context of broader political economic and cultural contexts. For more information about the major, please contact Undergraduate Advisor Joan Peterson.
