What is Experiential Learning?
Experiential learning means learning by doing. Instead of just reading or listening in class, you get hands-on experience that helps you apply what you’ve learned in real situations.
It’s about trying things out, reflecting on what you learn, and using those lessons to grow — both personally and professionally.
Examples include:
- Internships or Co-Ops
- Virtual Job Simulations (e.g., Forage)
- Fellowships
- Research Opportunities
- Service or Volunteer Experiences
- Study Abroad and Global Learning Programs
- Campus Leadership Roles
- On-Campus Student Employment
These experiences help you build real-world skills, explore career interests, and stand out to future employers.
