EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING MODEL

For intellectually curious problem-solvers seeking to make a positive impact

We offer rigorous “flipped” seminar classes in which students complete pre-class homework, then spend class time engaged in active learning. Knowledge is then applied in the real world participating in collaborative hands-on research and community-based initiatives. Conducted in a live, virtual learning environment, our interdisciplinary classes prioritize critical and creative thinking communication, and teamwork skills.
