Service-Learning Program Overview
Service learning is a teaching method that is part of UCF’s initiative to provide a
means for every student to enhance his or her academic program with experiential learning. Service learning within the School of Public Administration
provides an opportunity for students to work with community partners by collecting
and compiling data and producing quality products that will be beneficial to
nonprofit organizations.
Students have been involved in the following projects:Volunteer program evaluation
Strategic planning
Grant proposals
Nonprofit administration case study
Nonprofit program evaluation
Service-learning projects address community needs and require students to
reflect on their activities to gain an appreciation for the relationship between civics
and academics. The service-learning projects are usually completed as a group assignment. Faculty will guide the process. Not all graduate courses will offer this
teaching method.
