What is experiential learning?
Experiential learning is an engaged learning process whereby students "learn by doing" and by reflecting on the experience. Experiential learning activities can include, but are not limited to, hands-on laboratory experiments, internships, practicums, field exercises, study abroad, undergraduate research and studio performances.
Practicum education
Practicum education is the signature pedagogy of the social work curriculum. Social work majors complete a minimum of 400 hours at a generalist practicum site. We encourage students to seek other experiential learning opportunities to expand their skills and interests.
