The
Minor in Community Studies is designed to help students increase
their knowledge of broad forces affecting community change such
as:
Why
community development efforts succeed or fail
How
different kinds of policies are formed and their impact on local
areas
How
to communicate and work with diverse groups
How
to resolve controversial local issues.
The minor is intended to help prepare students to effectively live
and work in communities, both in the U.S. and abroad, and to provide
them with the necessary skills to influence community development
and change.
