Research & Impact<\/h1><\/header>\n\n\n

The College of Community Engagement and Professions fosters innovative collaborations through education, research, and community outreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Curriculum Synergies group provides opportunities for members of CCEP to collaborate, take advantage of existing curricular strengths among the three schools, and explore synergies through the development of new courses, micro-credentials, certificates, and degree programs.
