PSCI 424: Experiences in Political Science Beyond the Classroom coming soon.

What is experiential learning and why is it a plan-level requirement in PSCI?

Experiential learning refers to an approach to teaching that involves engaging learners "in direct experience and focused reflection in order to increase knowledge, develop skills, clarify values, and develop people's capacity to contribute to their communities."

Through the study of power, politics and government, Political Science students gain these skills as well as the values of personal responsibility, civic engagement, integrity, open-mindedness and continuous learning that the department views to be essential for both good citizenship and career success.
