Experiential Learning

Experiential Learning is...

Exactly what it sounds like! Learning by doing.

Students who participate in experiential learning during their first year at UHD are more likely to:

  • Graduate faster
  • Earn a higher GPA
  • Be more connected to their university

At UHD, we offer four types of experiential learning. Not sure which one to pursue?

Schedule an appointment with you Academic Success Coach or with Krysti to discuss your options.
