Through their immersive experiences, students will learn to make meaning by direct engagement in a “real world” context and intentional reflection. This active learning environment means that opportunities primarily composed of shadowing or other observatory practices are not considered qualifying immersive experiences.
The number of hours and amount of work will vary depending on the student, the provider, and the needs and expectations of both. Generally, experiences should occur over a duration of time that roughly equates to at least one academic term (e.g., fall, summer, spring).
Immersive experiences fall into the experiential pathways below:
- Civic and Community Engagement
- Innovation, Arts, Design and Creativity
- Internships
- Leadership and Professional Development
- Research
- Study Abroad
