Experiential Education

Service Learning

Through courses and programs which utilize service-learning, this form of experiential education serves as an educational tool that supports Northeastern’s academic and civic mission. During this process, faculty and students work in partnerships with our community representatives to positively contribute to our local and global communities by addressing community interests and needs through the creation and translation of course or program specific skills and knowledge.

And beyond the outcomes of a given semester, each member of a service-learning partnership not only receives certain immediate benefits, but more importantly, each is open to the new possibilities for how they and their partners are able to continue contributing positively to our communities throughout ones lifetime.

In Communication Studies, we give students the opportunity to engage in service learning in a class, which couples instruction and implementation.
