Chicago-Based Learning

Student and Faculty Enrichment

Vibrant campus and community life is essential to undergraduate learning. North Park also recognizes that Chicago is a rich resource to provide the breadth of student learning opportunities and to inspire faculty teaching.

Chicago-based student learning takes place in both the classroom and through co-curricular engagement. North Park students use Chicago as their classroom for learning, research, fieldwork, and volunteer service. The city is an unmatched resource for internships, real-world experience, and starting careers and life after college.

Your support is needed to advance:

• Faculty development and curriculum enhancement: Enable our professors to explore the best ways to integrate their academic disciplines with the core values of North Park as Christian, urban, and multicultural.
• Urban engagement: Foster increased partnerships for learning, service, and vocational development with diverse civic, business, educational, religious, and cultural institutions.
