PA 506 - International Service-Learning Experience

Students participate in a 10-day, service-learning experience abroad and complete assignments relating the experience to their coursework. The weeks prior to the travel and service portion of the course are devoted to research and learning about the host country, the conditions of the service that will be rendered, including principles of international development. PA 506 is offered periodically, with the support of Park University’s Office of International Education in collaboration with the Hauptmann School of Public Affairs, and is open to all MPA students, regardless of area of concentration. Travel expenses may be subsidized, in part, by Park University. The Office of International Education coordinates the service-learning experience. Enrollment is limited, and by permission of the dean of the Hauptmann School.
