MSU's Graduate Certification in Community Engagement prepares students for academic and professional careers that integrate scholarship with community engagement. The Certification is designed to help graduate and professional students develop systemic, respectful, and scholarly approaches to their community-engaged work. Students tailor their program of study to strengthen their scholarly and practical skills in community-engaged research and creative activities, community-engaged teaching and learning, community-engaged service and practice, and/or community-engaged commercialization activities. To complete the Certification, students must show mastery of core engagement competencies, complete a 60-hour mentored community engagement experience, and write and present an engagement portfolio.
