The Office of Impact Learning works across all academic departments to ensure that students have opportunities to participant in Service Learning, Research, Study Abroad Opportunities, and Internships. Each college and their academic programs offer courses that incorporate impact learning practices. Some courses allow for students to conduct independent research or participate in faculty led research activities. Other courses may allow students to carry out a service learning project in the community. These are just two examples of the types of experiences UHD has to offer.

Below is a list of courses that typically incorporate impact learning practices and the types of experiences available. Click on the expansion tabs below to see what each college has to offer! Please note that not every course is offered during a given semester and that one should cross-reference this list with the semester's course listings. Also note that new courses may be added and other courses may be phased out.
