About Bachelor of Community Research and Service

UC Merced's purposeful location in the San Joaquin Valley, near the Sierra Nevada – a region characterized by disadvantages in the environment, economics, education, health and civic engagement – invites this academic program that focuses on ways to transform poverty into prosperity.

Addressing the complexity of local, regional and global poverty requires the knowledge and problem-solving strategies from diverse academic fields and skills for working effectively with non-academic community members and organizations. This minor highlights the role of community-engaged research (CEnR), an approach to problem solving based on academic-community collaboration.
