The proposed model for the Africana Studies Major at Rowan University requires that students participate in a three-credit service learning experience, accumulating 70-75 hours with a cultural/civic group, institution or organization to explore community or institutional development initiatives which address issues that are local, regional, national and/or international in scope. The seminar will integrate classroom learning and community service through a collaborative partnership involving each student, the seminar leader, and a leader within the community organization. Students will spend approximately one day a week at their internship site, and will return to the classroom to share their experiences each week as well. Students interested in enrolling in the Service Learning Internship must interview with the course instructor one semester prior to the semester in which they will enroll in the course.
