Community Studies Minor

In 2009-10, William and Mary launches a new, interdisciplinary minor in Community Studies. The Community Studies minor offers a core set of courses designed to prepare students for community-based research. Students collaborate with an advisor to design an individualized and focused plan of study that includes core courses for the minor (an introductory, engaged learning seminar; a critical inquiry course; and a community-based research methods course) as well as elective courses that contribute to the development of a capstone research or Honor thesis project.
