2014-2015 Public Service Course Catalog
Introduction
Recognizing that active civic engagement builds strong, healthy communities and responsible citizens, Tulane University’s Center for Public Service merges academic inquiry with sustained civic engagement. The Center is a forum for students, faculty, and community partners to work together to address urgent and long-term social challenges and opportunities. Our approach to learning prepares Tulane University students to participate more fully in today's complex society in intellectually rigorous ways. The Center for Public Service supports a university curriculum and research agenda by uniting academics and action, classroom and communities, and helping students, faculty, and community partners to transform civic life.
The Center for Public Service administers the public service requirement of the undergraduate core curriculum. The guiding principle of the Center includes the belief that public service, rooted in an academic context, contributes to the development of student civic engagement. The undergraduate public service graduation requirement is grounded in a sustained sequence of learning articulated by the Center's mission. Instituting a cumulative and reflective graduation requirement makes explicit the ideal that education uniting public service and scholarship can be a transformative experience. To complete the Public Service graduation requirements, students must:
-
Successfully complete one service learning course at the 1000-, 2000-, or 3000-level before their fifth semester on campus.
-
No sooner than their sophomore year, and once the first tier is completed, participate in one of the following Center for Public Service-approved programs (at the 3000-level or above):
-
Service learning course
-
Academic service learning internship
-
Faculty-sponsored public service research project
-
Public service honors thesis project
-
Public service-based international study abroad program
-
Capstone experience with public service component
Service-Learning Course Listing
On average, Tulane University offers 150 courses each semester that fulfill the graduation requirement. This listing represents service-learning courses offered since 2007. As service placements, faculty, and courses change from semester to semester, this catalog provides students a historical listing of service components for past service-learning courses. It does not ensure that the course will be designated with service learning each semester it is offered, nor does it ensure that the service placement will be the same. It is intended to provide students insight about possible service placements.
Courses are divided by school and listed alphabetically by department. The page number indicated refers to the page containing more detailed course information within that department, and may be selected to jump to that section.
