The Engaged Social Innovation (ESI) major track is designed for innovators and doers. Highly-motivated students are encouraged to seek out and develop new solutions to social problems. Paired with an existing major or custom-designed as a stand-alone interdisciplinary major, the ESI track enables students to apply their learning in real world settings. It prioritizes the experiential component of education, and also helps students construct personal and professional networks with community partners. ESI students receive instruction in entrepreneurship, rhetoric, and community-building as well as in disciplines determined as necessary and selected by the students themselves. This coursework is designed to prepare them for their capstone project. Specifically, ESI students use their preparatory coursework and personal vision for social change into the field and work with a variety of partners to test and implement their capstone projects. ESI graduates leave the program with both the traditional coursework and background of other undergraduates, but they also have fieldwork experience, community contacts, and a better understanding of the challenges and opportunities in bringing about social innovation.
