Experiential Learning

Experiential Learning

'Experiential Learning' courses at Belmont include an out-of-class component that involves the students in 'doing' an aspect of the course. These active learning experiences complement the students' in-class learning. Essentially, the 'doing' applies the course of study, giving it greater resonance, while the classroom studies give the students' 'doing' greater contextualization. Consequently, students' understanding of their learning is deepened and enriched within these EL courses.

NOTE: Students will take TWO Experiential Learning courses, which are available in various parts of their four-year curriculum: major courses, minor courses, BELL Core courses, tool courses/technical requirements, and general electives. Each of these two EL courses must be from a different category of 'experiential learning. 'The six categories are listed (with examples) under the link below entitled 'Examples of Experiential Learning Courses.'
