This study used the Measure of Epistemology Reflection to explore the impact of service-learning and social justice education on college students cognitive development. Six service-learning courses taught with or without a social justice emphasis were studied. Results showed that service- learning courses in general had a positive impact on students cognitive development, while service-learning courses with a social justice emphasis appeared to have more impact on students cognitive development than those without a social justice emphasis.
