The concept of community development concerns ways of thinking about and resolving community problems. students examine the relationship between individual and community issues. in addition, they have opportunities to develop organizing skills on an agency and community level. students explore possible interventions along a continuum; from changes in human service work practice and under agency auspices to broader structural change within the community. through interactive lectures, graded online discussions, seminars, and presentations, students acquire information through which community work can be examined while analyzing outreach and development issues and activities.
