The College Corps is a historic state level investment in service that creates debt-free
pathways for students who commit to serve for an academic year. SJSU undergraduate
students who complete 450 hours of service through the College Corps will receive
up to $10,000 to help pay for college.
Our ongoing research program explores the effects of service learning on current college
students, alumni, faculty, and community organizations. We utilize both quantitative
and qualitative methodology. Our undergraduate and graduate student research team
provides for credit and occasionally paid research opportunities.
