Through academic study, experiential learning, community engagement, and applied research, Nonprofit Leadership, Religion, and Social Change (NRSC) undergraduate students will develop into interculturally competent, caring professionals interested in community-based change in the expanding nonprofit, philanthropic, and service sectors. In smaller, inclusive, project-based courses, NRSC students will collaborate with each other and community partners, gaining practical experience and making a difference through their coursework. The NRSC degree will prepare its graduates for careers in nonprofit settings, philanthropic enterprises, charities, faith-based initiatives, civil society, graduate school (in policy, religious studies, community health, law, etc.), and post-baccalaureate service-oriented programs, enabling them to create, lead, and support innovative community-based initiatives that change lives and make the world a better place. Through the skills and knowledge gained through this new major, their work will address human, family, and civil society issues such as: food and environmental justice, homelessness and rights to housing, health equity, gender equality, racial justice, community and leadership development, community organizing, advocacy, and more.
