Certificate in Civic Engagement: OSUN Program

AUCA's Center for Civic Engagement encourages freshmen, sophomore and junior students to apply for the "Certificate in Civic Engagement" program offered by Bard College and the Open Society University Network (OSUN)!

Program overview: The Certificate in Civic Engagement provides a structured path for undergraduate students interested in deepening their knowledge and understanding of civic and community engagement by merging curricular and co-curricular interests. The certificate sets out expectations that students will be knowledgeable about theories of citizenship, democratic participation, civil society, and social action, familiar with their local community, and cognizant of ways in which the local, national and global are linked. Courses that are a part of the certificate focus on themes related to civic engagement and/or the practice of it. The certificate is acknowledged on each student’s transcript.

Program requirements:

• Courses: Four courses (24 ECTS credits total) that focus on a theory or practice of civic engagement (can be AUCA or OSUN course).
• Culminating project: During the 3rd or 4th year, students prepare a written analytic work linked to their engagement activities. They can apply for SIDP in order to develop their project and receive financial support (up to $1000).
• Co-curricular activities: Students participate in 100 hours of co-curricular civic engagement activities during their course of study. They can volunteer or intern at AUCA CCE in order to accumulate the hours. They are also expected to attend co-curricular workshops offered by OSUN and AUCA.
