Department of Community Studies
The Department
of Community Studies integrates two degree-granting programs:
Community
Development and Gerontology. Moreover, it provides General Education
courses in the areas of Democratic Citizenship and Racial Issues. These
programs are partners in a commitment to foster the study, development,
and enhancement of sustainable communities, with particular focus on Minnesota
and the upper midwest region.
Community outreach is also an important dimension of the Department. Our goal is to establish partnerships with other institutions and organizations that will permit the Department to sponsor community-oriented symposia and workshops, to serve as a resource center for community concerns and issues in the upper midwest, and to provide students from the department with hands-on experience working directly with local communities.
