Certificate in Community Engaged Learning

The Certificate in Community Engaged Learning at Mount Allison University is an 18-credit undergraduate credential connecting coursework to real-world community-based projects developed with community partners. It draws on the same interdisciplinary foundation as the Community, Education, and Social Change major, covering the methods and contexts of social change work alongside topics such as sustainable healthcare, climate change responses, and community wellbeing. Students build skills in recognizing equity issues, collaborating with community partners, and designing and executing community-supported projects. The certificate can be completed alongside another degree or pursued on its own, with delivery on-campus at the Sackville, New Brunswick campus. It suits students who want a focused, transcript-recognized credential in community-engaged practice without committing to the full major, complementing further study or careers in community organizations, education, or non-profit and advocacy work.
