For most college students, their chosen major is the centerpiece of college and an envisioned route to future careers. Now many institutions are changing their approach by emphasizing thematic cross-disciplinary questions and courses along with a strengthened focus on practical problem-solving in real-world settings. These developments open the door to civic and ethical inquiry and projects in college majors, including the career and technical fields that are so important in today’s economy. Speakers from two- and four-year institutions discuss how faculty members are embedding civic and ethical inquiry in a host of career and STEM majors while also building new pathways to public service careers.
