Undergraduate Honors and Graduate Theses

Undergraduate Honors and Graduate Theses Designation with Service Learning

To be designated as a Service Learning thesis, your project must meet the following criteria:

1. Addresses a community (which includes schools, organizations, agencies and companies that comply with the rules of University of Arkansas) need through formal collaborations with program-identified appropriate partners.
2. Supports attainment of one or more course learning objectives.
3. Involves structured reflection.
4. Demonstrates clear and articulated connection between service activity and course content.
5. Requires five hours of service for every credit hour of course work.

Please complete this InfoReady Application to pursue having your thesis designated with service learning.

 

The purpose of this application is to identify student research that includes Service Learning components. Note, if you are pursuing a two/three article approach to your research and only one/some of those articles feature Service Learning research, your thesis/dissertation can still be designated as Service Learning.

While the application is easy, the process to get service learning on your thesis hours takes time. Therefore, please complete this form at least one semester before enrolling in thesis hours. Please visit the Service Learning Initiative Website (servicelearning.uark.edu) to learn more about Service Learning at University of Arkansas.
