4th-Credit Option

Earn additional credit with a service-learning project

The 4th-credit option offers students the opportunity to earn an additional credit in conjunction with a 3-credit course. This opportunity entails a minimum of 20 hours of service at a site in the local nonprofit community.

Participating in the 4th-credit option helps many students find a deeper understanding of class content through real world application of what they are learning. The 4th-credit option requires students to take ownership of their learning experience by applying course concepts in the community and using service to enhance in-class learning.

Students may take one 4th-credit option per semester for a total of three semesters.

Three ID120 credits will fulfill one 3-credit Arts & Science elective.  Three ID121 credits will fulfill one 3-credit Business elective.

A mix of three ID120 and ID121 credits will fulfill one 3-credit unrestricted elective.
