Civic Education Programs

Civic education focuses on the skills and habits of mind necessary for students to become active, well-informed, responsible citizens in our democratic society. By integrating rigorous academic work with public service experiences, effective civic education programs strive to provide opportunities for students to practice the virtues of trust, respect for others, and application of knowledge to promote the common good. When colleges and universities take on this responsibility, they become indispensable in sustaining and strengthening our democratic culture.
