Experiential Learning

‘Experiential learning’ provides you with the opportunity to learn through experience or action.  In Geography, many of our courses are structured to provide opportunities to apply what you are learning in the classroom in real world situations or contexts.  This form of learning often involves hands-on experiences outside of traditional academic settings and may include field trips, laboratory work, project-based learning and community engagement or service learning.

By involving our students in experiential learning, our goal is to promote interdisciplinarity, civic engagement, career development, cultural awareness, leadership, and related skills.
