Interdisciplinary Programs
Graduate Certificate in Community Engagement
Partnerships help us provoke new thinking in the classroom, pursue new insights in every field, translate our discoveries to innovation and engage with the community."
The Graduate Certificate in Community Engagement prepares educated, engaged citizens and scholars who can address critical community issues and contribute to the public good.听This certificate is particularly beneficial as funding agencies increasingly require researchers to articulate their work鈥檚 relevance and wider societal impact.
Recorded on students' transcripts, the certificate creates a scaffold by which scholars integrate their academic study into community engagement experiences through participation in coursework, community-focused graduate research or creative work, and hands-on experience.
Scholars will maintain a portfolio that may contain reflection materials, research documents, a record of experiential hours and a final synthesis that documents their deepened understanding as community-engaged scholars.

The Graduate Community Engagement Summer Scholars program offers highly motivated graduate students the opportunity to immerse themselves in community-based research or creative projects. Scholars spend 10 weeks (20-25 hours/week) during the summer in full-time pursuit of their projects in partnership with a Delaware nonprofit, government, community-based action research or service-based corporate agency and simultaneously pursue academic reflection. At the conclusion of the program, scholars present their projects at a symposium and receive a stipend of $5,000.
This program is open to students from any academic discipline, providing a valuable opportunity to pursue community-engaged scholarship.
Advisement
Students will assess their projects with assistance from CEI. They will submit a final report upon completion of the project.
