Community Development Program

The Sociology Department listened to their students' requests for a program where they could apply their study of sociology to the living community. Responding to this interest, the Community Development Program was created to provide a solid grounding in the principles, practices, methods, laws and policies relevant to community development. Most importantly, students are involved in placements or projects in the community as an interactive component of their academic study.

Designed to increase students' preparation for future work, the Community Development Programs provide students with an opportunity to learn and apply community development skills in real world settings. The Community Development Programs are offered through the Department of Sociology at Brescia University College. Students can take a Major in Community Development, which includes a field placement, or a Minor in Community Development, which includes experience doing community-based research.
