Community Development Minor
27 Credits
We understand community development as a process in which people act together to promote the social, economic, political, and physical well-being of our community. Students graduating with a minor in community development will be citizen activists, empowered to take leadership roles in public affairs. Community Development minors often find careers in not-for-profit organizations, private consulting firms, advocacy groups, and state, regional, and local governments. Community development practitioners work on a range of issues including housing, community organizing, transportation, the environment, and economic development.
Courses must include USP 300, USP 301, USP 302. A minimum of 15 credits of additional USP coursework must be taken. Courses taken under the undifferentiated grading option (pass/no pass) will not be accepted toward fulfilling minor requirements.
