Experiential Learning means learning by doing and it’s part of every degree. Students get practical experience, gain new skills, and develop independent, creative and critical thinking  – attributes that are desirable to employers, graduate schools and professional schools.

All undergraduate students who enter under the 2020-21 catalog must complete at least one EL designated course prior to graduation.
