Community Engagement

The University of St. Thomas offers courses that engage in the broader community with non-profit organizations, schools and governmental agencies. Most of these courses require an engaged collaboration with specific community partners who have identified projects for students to complete in the timeframe of a semester. These opportunities provide students with real world experience even as they learn their discipline-specific course content. Community partners become co-educators along with our faculty—all with the goal of advancing the common good. The courses that include a community engagement component change each semester, but students can search for “Common Good Community-Engaged” courses via Class Finder when registering for courses.
