EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING PROGRAM It's a simple concept - when you learn by doing, you learn differently. You learn more. You learn beyond subject matter - you also learn about yourself. Therefore, all undergraduate students at UGA engage in experiential learning before they graduate. There are a wealth of opportunities on and beyond campus: explore the full range of activities on the UGA Experiential Learning website. Students in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences can choose between a number of options for their experiential learning: Global: Participate in any UGA-approved study abroad or field study program. Research: Complete an undergraduate research course denoted with an R-suffix (such as RELI 4960R), or participate in a CURO Research Assistantship, or CURO Summer Fellowship. Service: Sign up for a service learning course approved by the Office of Service-Learning. Courses: Sign up for any UGA course approved for Experiential Learning. Non-Credit Activities: Participate in any non-course activity that has been approved for Experiential Learning. Franklin Performance Activities: Selected non-credit experiences; for example, participate in University Theatre Season productions or music ensembles. Students must seek approval from the Experiential Learning Certification Officer. Explore these opportunities in the Religion Department: Student Engagement in the Anne Frank Exhibit Responding to the alarming trend in antisemitic events in the state of Georgia, UGA’s Jewish Studies has created an experiential learning program that prepares students to engage with others in the campus community and beyond in combating antisemitism.
