This multidisciplinary program allows students to improve their community. With a focus on politics, social justice, leadership and activism, students gain knowledge and practical skills needed to mobilize for change. Students don't just learn about the issues facing our communities, they take action in Milwaukee. Through service-learning projects, field work, internships and networking opportunities, students gain on-the-ground insights into the challenges and opportunities for social change at the community level.
Community Engagement & Activism has a major, minor and specialization.
This major prepares students for more than just a meaningful career. Students are empowered to be a lifelong, engaged member of your community.
