## Fundamentals in Community Engagement (FCE)

Page Content

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​All undergraduate students, who joined AUB in Fall 2023 or after, are required to complete the new General Education Program. This includes a variety of courses offered across different disciplines designed to deepen students’ understanding of the world and their role within it. \

A key component of the program is the Community Engaged Learning (CEL) requirement, a three-credit general education course bridging theory with practice. It provides students with a five-option pathway to fulfill, namely through:

- Volunteering Rotations;
- Community Service Project;\
- Community-Based Internship;
- Capstone Project; \
- Service-Learning Courses

​The common ground of these five options is a one credit online prerequisite that entails (a) the principles and values of community engagement and (b) field reports developed by students; an opportunity to recognize some of the prominent student-led initiatives, that can be used as references to further inspire their peers.
