Applied Learning and Scholarly Activities

Engage in at least one significant applied learning or scholarly activity and complete a reflection. A significant experience should include at least 80 hours of engagement.

This requirement presents students with the opportunity for practical application of theories and concepts learned through major coursework. Examples include:

• Participation in such opportunities on campus as the Oregon Consulting Group, UO Investment Group, Oregon Innovation Challenge, Oregon Accelerator, Professional Edge, or serving as a peer coach in the Financial Wellness Program
• Internships (paid or unpaid)
• Original research supervised by faculty, including Clark Honors College theses

The intent is for this experience to align with a student's particular interests, and the requirement is designed to allow for flexibility. The primary criteria for an experience to satisfy this requirement is that a student can demonstrate that they applied theories or concepts learned through their major coursework during the experience.

Community Engagement

Engage in at least two community activities. At least one of the activities must be within the Lundquist College of Business.

Engaging in community activities is an opportunity to develop networking, leadership, and other professional skills while cultivating a sense of purpose, passion, and belonging. Some example activities are provided below, but students should determine which types of community engagement would be most valuable to them. The intent is for the engagement to align with a student's personal or professional goals, and the requirement is designed to allow for flexibility. Examples include but are not limited to:

• Participation in Lundquist College student organizations
• Participation in other campus clubs or activities (e.g. ASUO, peer guides, etc.)
• Participation in Business Honors community events
• Participation in Professional Edge workshops
• Community service

Each community activity requires at least 40 hours of engagement:

• Students need to participate in at least two different activities to fulfill this requirement. For example, 80 hours of engagement with a single student club would count as one activity.
• Activities can be combined to meet the 40-hour requirement. For example, 20 hours of student club participation, 12 hours of Professional Edge workshops, and 8 hours of Business Honors community events could count as one activity.
