All traditional undergraduate students at Lipscomb University are expected to complete two service-learning experiences before graduating. The SALT (Serving and Learning Together) Center offers four levels of increasingly significant service-learning experiences. No more than one experience can come from Tier I. At least one experience must come from Tier II or III.

Tier I
SALT Enhanced Service Days

Tier II
SALT Enhanced Course

Tier III
SALT Internship, Mission Trip, Cooperative

Tier IV
SALT Capstone

The SALT Project is a comprehensive plan to integrate service-learning into the educational experience of traditional undergraduate students at Lipscomb University. A strategy for developmentally enhancing student learning, The SALT Project allows students to connect their academic experience and spiritual development with significant engagement in the community.

Students interested in going beyond the basic service-learning graduation requirement will be given the opportunity to attain the distinction of SALT Scholar. The SALT Scholar is a student who has become an expert in service-learning in the context of Lipscomb University, and whose investment in service-learning reflects a significant level of engagement. SALT Scholars will receive special distinction at graduation and on their academic transcript.
