Embedding Experiential Learning into the Curriculum

Experiential learning is integral to your overall education as it allows you to apply what you are learning, gain hands-on experience, and in some cases, network with professionals in your field of interest. For these reasons, beginning in fall 2021, every major in the College of Humanities & Social Sciences (CHSS) will require students to participate in at least 1 credit of experiential learning. While some majors require a specific course, many allow students to choose from several options.
