What is experiential learning?
- Experiential learning is a process through which students develop knowledge, skills and values from direct experiences outside a traditional academic setting.
- Experiential learning encompasses a variety of activities including internships, community-based learning, and other creative and professional work experiences.
- Well-planned, supervised and assessed experiential learning programs can stimulate academic inquiry by promoting interdisciplinary learning, civic engagement, career development, cultural awareness, leadership, and other professional and intellectual skills.
