About the Certificate

The Certificate in Community-Based Research is for any undergraduate student interested in applying community-based research methodology and social science research methods to community-based settings, domestically or internationally. Think of it like a minor, but with a focus on applied skills-building in community settings.

What Is Community-Based Research?

Community-based research is an orientation, based on the philosophy that any research to inform solutions for a pressing community problem should involve the community. In this certificate program, students learn to collaborate with community partners to conduct research aimed at meeting community-identified needs and apply what they learn in a final independent capstone project.
