Experiential Learning

Volunteer!  Engage!  Earn Credit!

The International Development Studies Experiential Learning Program has over 15 years experience providing students with a unique \ opportunity to give to communities, while reflecting on challenges in our societies.

The program goes beyond “work for credit,” “volunteer placements” or “co-ops,” the International Development Studies department has an innovative approach that combines the interplay between academic and practical skills for our students.

Coursework is combined with volunteer placements, providing students with the academic space to critically reflect upon their experiences, and what it means to be a volunteer in society.
