Minor in
Community Change
Studies

The Community Change Studies minor introduces students to ways in which people organize to make change in their communities. Through innovative courses on community organizing, activist research, and paid internships for all minors, the Community Change Studies minor brings the city into the classroom and the classroom into the city.

The Community Change Studies started from the idea that there is a great deal of work being done by everyday people in organizations across New York City to advocate for solutions to problems that they face–and that many students at City College face. By connecting students to this work through a focused curriculum, experiential learning, and opening the classroom to emerging leaders in community organization, the minor opens a world of future engagement to students, as well as potential for careers in the field.
