Experiential Learning for Students

Experiential learning gives you the chance to learn by doing. Experiential learning allows you to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes that will help prepare you for the world of work and community engagement. These learning experiences can also broaden your networks while helping you apply your classroom learning to real-world contexts.

The University of Guelph offers many course-based and co-curricular experiential learning opportunities.
