Our unique educational model—known as The Engaged Practitioner Model—is based heavily on learning through community service and on grooming students to be "engaged" and active participants in their communities, applying their knowledge and skills in new and powerful ways to serve the greater good.
From their first semester on campus, our students learn not only through their classroom work, but through an unparalleled range of real-world training experiences in diverse and challenging settings. They contribute their expertise in underserved communities, social service agencies, schools, hospitals, and even businesses— refining their professional skills while making a positive and lasting impact in the community.
