Academic Opportunities
Academic Opportunities
The University affirms its mission to challenge students to examine the ultimate meaning of life, their place in the world, and their responsibility to others by offering various options to enhance the academic quality of their education. By including high impact practices along with academic rigor in the curriculum, students graduate prepared to make a difference in their communities and the world. Below are a few of the academic opportunities available at Thomas More.
Service-learning is a method of teaching whereby students have the opportunity to apply their classroom knowledge to a meaningful experience in the community.
Service-learning consists of the three main components. The first component involves the planning of a meaningful experience. The second component is that of the experience itself which takes place within the context of a nonprofit organization. The experience is focused on impacting an identified community need. The final component is reflection. Through structured reflection, students are able to make the connection between the course objectives and the experience.
Service-learning helps to make course knowledge more relevant to everyday life while fostering an ethic of service and civic responsibility in the students. Students can participate in service-learning through courses that require service learning, courses that offer service learning as an option, or through independent study.
The Service-Learning Program seeks to centralize and coordinate the service-learning activities on campus. The Program also offers support to faculty who teach service-learning courses, identifies community placement where the service-learning experience can take place, represents the University in problem-solving community partnerships and involves faculty, staff, and students in the ongoing development of the Program.
