Program Description:

Both civic knowledge and civic engagement are necessary to democracy. The Civic Engagement and Community Leadership track embodies this relationship; the material learned within a broad liberal arts and sciences curriculum is applied to current social, political, and economic issues.  Students acquire the skills, wisdom, and knowledge needed to make a difference in the civic life of their communities and the world. In addition, this program meets the requirements for the MassTransfer block agreement, which makes it a good fit for students planning to transfer to a four-year college. The subject matter of this concentration is relevant to most four-year degree programs, including economics, regional planning, business, philosophy, environmental science, history, political science, or government.
