Service learning, at its core, is a teaching and learning strategy that connects what you learn in the classroom to problems in our community. At 野狼社区 University, you will get the opportunity to apply what you are learning in the classroom while making a difference for our community. Service learning will show you that what you learn in the classroom has the potential to have an impact on the world and community around us.
Since 2004, service learning has been a requirement of the OCU general education curriculum. You will complete at least one service learning course before graduation. If you complete four or more service learning courses, you will receive special recognition at your Commencement ceremony.
