Civic University

A Civic University is an institution of higher education that actively engages with its local community to address social, economic, and environmental challenges. Unlike traditional universities, which may focus primarily on research and education for their own sake, Civic Universities prioritize partnerships and collaborations with local governments, nonprofits, and businesses. They aim to create mutual benefits—enhancing student learning while fostering community development and public good. This model emphasizes civic responsibility, promoting active citizenship, and preparing students to contribute positively to society.
