What is Experiential Learning?

Experiential Learning is important in the core curriculum for Rutgers SEBS undergraduates, requiring a minimum of 3 credits in hands-on learning. Students are urged to pursue additional educational opportunities and promptly meet this requirement. Experiential Learning involves active participation in "learning by doing," which enhances career development by deepening understanding and acquiring skills highly sought after by employers and graduate programs.
