Welcome
The Experiential Learning program was developed to foster an already vibrant aspect of the university’s mission: preparing students for full participation in a changing society, to be capable of promoting their own welfare, yet remaining deeply concerned about the welfare of communities they touch.
Brandeis offers students and faculty a wide range of hands-on learning and teaching opportunities including independent research, experiential learning courses, internships, community-engaged projects, studio and art work and study abroad programs. Many projects take students beyond campus, whether to partner with a community group, conduct research at a museum in Boston, serve as an intern for a semester or study overseas. Brandeis also offers an array of not-for-credit opportunities for student leadership and volunteer projects which involve learning by doing.
Reflective processes that connect theory and practice are an integral part of experiential learning programs. They enable the analysis and assessment of student experiences and are crucial for the development of new skills, knowledge and critical thinking.
