Education in Action

Service-learning courses give you the opportunity to take what you've learned in the classroom and apply it to make a difference. Service-learning provides opportunities to help develop leadership skills, foster professional development, appreciate diversity, and provide opportunities for increased understanding of course material.

Service Learning Course Designation

All faculty teaching service-learning courses at Buffalo State must go through an approval process to make sure their courses meet the minimum requirements established by policy and the Service-Learning Oversight Committee.  SUNY Buffalo State students can enroll in service-lerning courses to demonstrate their commitment to learning in the community.  These courses are designated in Banner and in the class schedule.

Designated service-learning courses:

  • are searchable in Banner
  • are offered in many departments and majors
  • require a minimum of 10 hours of service meeting a community-identified priority
  • demonstrate your commitment to being engaged in the community
  • demonstrate your professor's commitment to the community
