Experiential Learning at Francis Marion University seeks to add practice components to the theory learned in the classroom and lead to more complete learning that enhances traditionally acquired knowledge. Such real-life experiences better prepare students for their roles as employees and citizens. Learning activities that engage the learner in the phenomena being studied also serve to enhance students’ awareness of their own values and the values of others. These supervised activities occur outside the normal classroom, laboratory or library. They may be credit or no-credit and fall into four categories all of which involve university direction and student reflection: Service-Learning, Faculty-Mentored research, Internships and Study Travel.
