LOYOLA UNIVERSITY CHICAGO

2024-2025 CATALOG

The Academic Catalog is the official listing of courses, programs of study, academic policies and degree requirements for Loyola University Chicago. It is published every year in advance of the next academic year.

Service-Learning

For a course to be designated as “Service-Learning”, satisfying the University Engaged Learning requirement, it must meet all the following criteria.  Criteria for service-learning courses are based on research and best practices, the CAS Standards for Service-Learning (2009), and the Principles of Good Practice for Service-Learning Pedagogy (Howard, 1993).

  1. The academic course establishes the service expectation of 20+ hours of service to work in the community or in the environment, or on a community-based project connected to the content of the course.
  2. Learning objectives related to the service experiences are clearly articulated.
  3. There is a clear articulation of the community partnership or project and how it addresses community-defined priorities.
  4. The syllabus assignments and final projects synthesize classroom- and community-based learning.
  5. Activities and assignments encourage students to reflect on larger community issues, sustainability issues, social structures, and/or topics of social justice (e.g. perpetuating dependence vs. building capacity within the community).

The Center for Engaged Learning, Teaching, & Scholarship publishes a listing of ALL approved service-learning classes each semester.  This list can be found on the Service-Learning Program website.

All courses that have been approved to satisfy the Engaged Learning University Requirement are designated with an "E" appended to their section number, e.g. ANTH 301 01E. Comprehensive listings of all approved Engaged Learning classes offered each semester can be found in LOCUS.
