The Community Studies Program
The Community Studies minor in Interdisciplinary Studies offers students a structured opportunity to integrate community-based research and community engagement with academic courses. The Community Studies Minor is designed to augment and complement academic concentration in any discipline at the College, starting possibly from a student’s first year and continuing through their senior year at William and Mary. Community Studies students are required to design an academic path of study that meaningfully integrates continuing community-based research and engagement with their course work, and leads to the fulfillment of their plan with a capstone research experience or Honors thesis.
Declaration Process
Each year Community Studies will announce a date in the fall term by which students must apply to declare the minor. To be eligible, students must have attained sophomore status and have either completed, or currently be taking, the required introductory course (either a Sharpe freshman seminar or CMST 250 ). To declare, students must meet with a member of the Advisory Committee prior to this deadline.
Description of Courses
Community Studies courses support enrollment for the freshman Sharpe Community Scholars Program, the Community Studies Minor, and upper-level students who want to integrate community-based projects into academic classes.
