General Framework
-
This program recognizes engaged and active students; it is not a program open only to those who present high GPAs or who complete a selected set of courses.
-
The specific requirements students complete to graduate with Distinction in Engagement can be different in major programs of study, but the overall framework and goals are shared among MSUM’s four colleges: Arts and Humanities, Business and Industry, Education and Human Services, and Social and Natural Sciences.
-
Students must complete one engagement activity in each of the program’s six categories and one of the activities must involve working as part of a team.
-
Students may apply a maximum of two engagement activities that are required by the major. The two activities must be in different categories (learning, service or citizenship).
-
Students who change majors and move from one College to another retain the engagement activities that have been completed, but will finish the program requirements in the College that houses the new major.
-
Transfer students may apply a maximum of two engagement activities completed prior to enrollment at MSUM, one in the category of service and one in the category of citizenship, toward program completion by providing appropriate documentation.
-
Students are responsible for collecting and providing appropriate documentation that the six categories have been completed, as well as the final reflective paper and professional resume.
-
Distinction in Engagement will appear on the student’s transcript and in the commencement program.
