Our program provides hands-on coursework and fieldwork, where you take on real projects to make impacts in real communities. You’ll discover how 社区发展 is the intersection of public health, 公共安全, 教育, 政府, 经济发展, 环境, 交通和住房.
Our faculty are not only content experts, but respected field practitioners. From their experience and real-world knowledge you’ll learn to critically examine the roles and effectiveness of stakeholder groups and gain the skills to address the challenges of today’s urban and rural neighborhoods and communities.
你会怎么做
You won't learn how to improve communities from a textbook. You need to be actively doing it as part of your coursework. It's why you will learn directly from community members, municipalities and public and private partners about their needs, 资源, and priorities and take on projects to make a positive impact. 例如:
- 去年, 在我们的课程中获得证书的学生, 例如, started a weekend food pantry as part of one of their courses after identifying student hunger it as a problem they could help address in their community.
- 最近, students worked with the Central Falls City Council and Mayor's Office to improve communications between the two offices.
- 项目设计、实施导论 & 评估过程, students surveyed the Mount Hope Neighborhood in Providence to help a local organization determine the most effective role it could play for residents in the neighborhood.
