The Community Engagement and Social Change minor is designed to provide students with a core analytical, experiential, and theoretical framework for understanding three intersecting dimensions of civic engagement at the local level: issues of social inequality, modes of social change, and the community in which the engagement takes place. The minor can be paired with any major as an applied and active way of putting disciplinary tools to use, and is intended for highly motivated students of any ideological perspective who are committed to education among a broader community of learners.
Students complete a core curriculum, elective courses, a course on a strategy of social change, and a community-engaged capstone research project examining a social issue in a specific Los Angeles community context.
