Faculty Resources

Creighton University's Catholic, Jesuit mission encourages faculty to use their teaching and research to address local, national and global social issues. The Office of Academic Service-Learning offers assistance to Creighton University faculty who are interested in fostering positive social change through academic service learning courses and/or community-based research projects.

Academic Service-Learning Course Designation

Academic service-learning courses are designated by the Engaged Learning Committee, an interdisciplinary team of faculty and community partners that have expertise in the field of academic service-learning. This ensures a clear review process cycle, that basic criteria for AcSL have been met, and that curricula assessment and outcomes have been identified.

When you're developing your AcSL course, please refer to our Faculty Resource Guide. This tool kit contains information about AcSL criteria, identifying community partners, developing reflection activities, important documentation, and an overview of the AcSL course designation process.
