This paper assesses the effect of a comprehensive service-learning program on students' level of civic responsibility. A nonequivalent control group experiment was conducted with students from a large, Western university. The results of the multivariate analysis generally supported the hypothesis that students who are involved in a comprehensive service-learning program will show larger increases in civic responsibility when compared to: (1) students involved in community service but who are not formally integrating it with their academic course work, and (2) students who are not involved in any community service.
