Maximize Your Learning Through Experience

GSW's Office of Experiential Learning is positioned to help students gain experiences that will help them think critically, solve problems, work appropriately with diverse populations, and figure out how to solve multifaceted problems faced in the real world. A growing amount of evidence suggests that experiential learning is a cornerstone to helping students develop those skills. These types of learning experiences have also been shown to lead to greater success both in the classroom and once they enter the workforce. Additionally, research suggests experiential learning can contribute to on-time graduation rates.

The Office of Experiential Learning works to build relationships across campus to support academic and co-curricular experiential learning opportunities, including, but not limited to study abroad, domestic study away, faculty-mentored research, service-learning, internships, leadership opportunities, and other creative endeavors that will add in the learning experience of students at GSW.
