3. Concentration Areas: The concentration areas of the minor give students the opportunity to pursue an interdisciplinary area of interest related to the themes of community, citizenship, and democracy.   A concentration consists of three courses chosen in consultation with the minor coordinator.  The courses chosen need not have community learning components (although many probably will), but should provide a setting in which students in the minor can reflect on a theme of community import.  A listing of possible themes and suggested courses follows below.
 
4.  Culminating Internship:  Seniors in the minor will undertake a one-credit internship with a community organization, chosen in consultation with the minor coordinator.  During their internships, students will write a reflective research paper to be submitted to the minor coordinator and appropriate additional readers.  The paper should demonstrate a thoughtful integration of themes and learning achieved throughout the minor.
