Abstract
Service-learning is a teaching method that incorporates community engagement into the curriculum of a course. Service-learning is becoming increasingly popular on college campuses and across disciplines. Studies have shown many benefits to service-learning for the students and the community they serve. Service-learning has been incorporated into science courses, including microbiology. This review will address the benefits to service-learning and provide an overview of the various types of service-learning projects that have been completed in microbiology courses.Keywords
