New Course Development
To advance the mission of 草莓社区 to “expand knowledge in the service of humanity through learning, justice, and faith,” the university's Engaged Learning requirement asks faculty to embed experiential learning opportunities in courses to help students enhance their knowledge, skills, and values. More information on proposing a course can be found in the details below.
Course Designation Deadlines
In order for new courses to be designated for Engaged Learning credit, proposals need to be submitted by Feb. 1, 2027, for the academic year 2027-2028. Each year, the FEB 1st deadline will be for all engaged learning courses during the next academic year (2027-2028), including summer 2027, fall 2027, J-term 2028, and spring 2028 semesters.
Please complete all fields in and click "SUBMIT" when you are finished. Please also email your draft syllabus directly to engagedlearning@luc.edu. Your responses will be sent to the Engaged Learning Subcommittee of the Board of Undergraduate Studies (BUS) for review.
Assessment of the Engaged Learning requirement: By submitting this proposal for a course that meets the Engaged Learning University Requirement, I agree to participate in the assessment of Engaged Learning. Specifically, I understand and agree to: 1) submit my syllabus each semester, 2) ask my students to enter their Engaged Learning placement/experience data into LOCUS, and 3) have my students respond to a standardized reflection prompt at the end of the semester. CELTS and the EL Subcommittee will contact faculty/staff at the start of each semester to provide further details regarding this assessment requirement.
