Thematic Concentration in Public Service

Up one level:

Undergraduate Programs in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity

The Public Service thematic concentration is designed to ensure that CSRE students interested in public service have access to a structured curriculum providing a solid grounding in the theory and practice of public service that enables them to become future leaders in the sphere of public life. This concentration is not declared on Axess; it does not appear on the transcript or diploma. This thematic concentration can be completed within any of the majors within CSRE. Students should consult with the CCSRE undergraduate program director and the chair of African and African American Studies, Asian American Studies, Chicana/o Studies, or Native American Studies to ensure that the courses chosen for the Public Service thematic concentration also fulfill the requirements of the respective majors. Students who wish to pursue a thematic concentration in public service must organize their studies to include 15 credits of approved CSRE core courses, including CSRE 200X, CSRE Senior Seminar, in which students with a thematic concentration in public service may select a topic for their senior paper or honors thesis that reflects their interest in public or experience with a past internship.

In addition to the usual core requirements expected of all CCSRE majors, students who wish to pursue a thematic concentration in Public Service must take an additional 40 units organized around four subject matter areas: organization and leadership; inquiry and assessment; serving diverse communities; and service learning. They also must complete 5 units in a public service internship. Students interested in the Public Service thematic concentration should contact the CSRE Undergraduate Program Office for details about its requirements.
