Maverick Advantage activities and opportunities are available throughout the UTA campus, both within academic courses and through extracurricular experiences. Courses containing a Maverick Advantage activity provide students with valuable hands-on experiences related to their coursework.
The course must include a project, presentation, or experience directly related to the course material and focused on one or more specific Maverick Advantage activities.
To gain a deeper understanding, we encourage you to visit our MAFE Procedures page for further information.
The course syllabus must clearly state that it contains one or more Maverick Advantage activities, preferably at the beginning. For example, "This course contains a (Community Engagement/Service Learning, Global, Leadership, Career, Research) Maverick Advantage Distinguishing Activity/Activities." Each Maverick Advantage activity must be clearly labeled and/or explained within the syllabus.
To help students understand the impact and benefit of their Activity/Activities, students must complete structured, critical reflection on the course experience through reflection methods such as journaling, written paper(s), oral presentation(s), group discussion, creative expression, artwork, or other means as determined by the faculty. These class reflections correspond with the Maverick Advantage activity/activities in the course and are part of the individual course deliverables. Course reflection must be distinctly identified in the syllabus and is conducted at the faculty’s discretion.
Our Faculty Fellows Program offers a year-long intensive program for UTA faculty to integrate Maverick Advantage activities into courses, fostering collaboration and community relationships.
