Allegheny community and justice studies students turn knowledge into action
We’ll set the stage for your success by teaching you how to demonstrate effective community engagement and organizing in concrete, real-world settings.
Our community and justice studies students solidify their skills through independent and collaborative research, internships, community engagement, study away, and more.
Community Engagement
Students explore the meaning and power of community by working with local non-profits, government agencies, and grassroots organizations to address real-world issues, from systemic racism to the lack of affordable housing.
Student-Faculty Collaboration
Many community and justice studies students carry out independent research or collaborative research with faculty in addition to the Senior Comp.
Recent Senior Comps
The Senior Comp is the culmination of four years of experience, imagination, and study. It is the moment when you demonstrate what you’ve learned by teaching us something new.
