The Honors College defines experiential learning as involving learners in direct experiences followed by focused reflection with the aims of increasing and integrating knowledge, developing skills, and connecting to the world in meaningful ways. The direct experiences may involve the active creation of art or knowledge, the practical application of skills to significant problems, and/or engaged learning with local and global communities and cultures. Like other honors pedagogical approaches, experiential learning is high-impact, interactive, and transformative.
