Experiential Learning
To graduate, all UGA students must engage in hands-on, experiential learning within a domestic or global setting. Although experiential learning became a university requirement in 2016, the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences has always prioritized enriching students' academic careers with experiential learning opportunities. In fact, it’s an integral part of our Deans’ Promise initiative.
The experiential learning requirement allows students to gain real-world experience, broaden their horizons and become more marketable to employers through several curricular options. CAES offers a range of courses and activities that support internships, research, service-learning, study abroad, field study, and other hands-on specialty experiences.
CAES students should visit the website of the Office of Experiential Learning for a full list of approved EL courses and non-credit activities. Students should also discuss their EL options with their academic advisor.
