Benefits of Experiential Learning for Students

Why get involved in experiential learning?

• The feedback students receive during EL projects is rapid, direct, and concrete
• Student actions have consequences in the learning environment, making experiential learning authentic
• EL assignments and activities allow for experimentation with new theories, behaviors, attitudes and skills
• The learning environment more closely resembles the “real” world environment into which students will graduate
