Community-Based Research (Undergraduate Certificate) [SPA/JLC]
Administered jointly by the Department of Government and Department of Justice, Law and Criminology (School of Public Affairs), the Community-Based Research (Undergraduate Certificate) is for students who are interested in applying community-based research methodology and social science research methods to community-based settings domestically or internationally. Community-based research is an orientation based on the philosophy that research to inform solutions for a pressing community problem should involve the community. In this certificate program, students learn to collaborate with community partners to conduct research aimed at meeting community-identified needs and apply what they learn in a final independent capstone project.
