What are experiential learning programs?
They are programs that allow you to apply what you are learning and put ideas into action through firsthand experiences.
Elon students are engaged learners who work alone, with peers and alongside faculty mentors to solve problems and master difficult material. They take fewer, more intensive courses that are designed for experiential learning. Through the five Elon Experiences – study abroad, internships, research, leadership and service – learning extends beyond the classroom. As an Elon student, you’ll participate in at least two, but many students complete all five.
Serve others while studying abroad. Learn on the job through internships and tie those experiences to research with faculty mentors. Transform while leading organizations and activities. There are so many opportunities for experiential learning at Elon. By the time you graduate, you’ll have a wealth of real-world experiences that support your transition to life after college and ensure you stand out when applying for a first job or graduate school.
