Experiential Learning
A growing body of research demonstrates that experiential learning enhances student learning, success in the classroom, on-time graduation, and transition to the workforce. Many UGA students engage in experiential learning and doing so prior to graduation will take the world-class learning experience that UGA provides to an even higher level.
SPIA students may meet Experiential Learning Requirement in one of several ways:
- Participation in a SPIA or other UGA-approved study abroad programs
- Doing an internship with an academic component
- Taking a service-learning course
- Taking a research-intensive course
- Taking one from a few select SPIA courses with applied components
