Emmanuel College staff, faculty and students share a deep understanding of the role hands-on experience plays in educating the whole person. Experiential learning is a process through which students develop knowledge, abilities and values from applied learning outside a traditional academic setting. These experiences stimulate academic inquiry by promoting interdisciplinary learning, civic engagement, cultural competency, leadership and other valuable skills.
When students are given opportunities to integrate classroom knowledge with real-world situations such as research, field placements, global study, internships and service-learning projects, their learning becomes significantly more powerful.
