Discover the Minor in Civic Life

Description

What does it take for people to engage productively as informed, skilled, and effective members of democratic communities and the world? Whether we are scientists, doctors, engineers, advocates, public servants, or anything else, we are all members of pluralistic communities. In all of these communities, people of all kinds need capacities to engage productively with one another, develop the skills to negotiate difference, and cooperate to achieve common goals.

The minor in civic life introduces students to civic studies through its core seminars, electives, and experiential learning opportunities. Students participating in the minor will join a vibrant community of student peers, faculty, and fellows at the SNF Agora Institute. Regardless of their primary area of undergraduate study, the minor in civic life empowers students to be engaged global citizens. As a minor, it is specifically intended to engage and equip students interested in pursuing any kind of career (including STEM careers) with the skills of critical inquiry and applied research they need.
