Service-Learning
Service-learning is an educational experience based upon a collaborative partnership between college and community. Learning through service enables students to apply academic knowledge and critical thinking skills to meet genuine community needs. Through reflection and assessment, students gain deeper understanding of course content and the importance of civic engagement. Service-learning courses are taught each term in a variety of academic programs at Berea College. Designated service-learning courses meet the Active Learning Experience (ALE) requirement in the General Education Program, as indicated in the Schedule of Classes.
