Community-Based Learning and Research Courses

Community-Based Learning and Research (CBLR) courses engage students with community partners to investigate important social issues.

CBLR courses provide learning experiences that enrich the understanding of:

  • important social, civic and ethical issues;
  • foster inquiry outside the classroom;
  • enable knowledge creation in partnership with community agencies; and
  • build skills and competencies valuable for life after Brown.
