Experiential Learning
Experiential Learning at MCC empowers students and faculty to creatively combine learning in the classroom with experiential activities and opportunities beyond our campus. Through effective communication and collaboration, we help students make meaningful connections between their academic goals and lifelong pursuits.
MCC faculty have been challenging students to become more personally engaged in their learning through field work whether in the form of research, placement in community organizations, travel opportunities, or special projects.
Courses with an experiential learning component provide students with guided opportunities to encounter firsthand the issues that they read and study about, requiring them to apply academic learning to nonacademic settings and challenging them to use their experiences in those settings to think more critically and deeply about what they are studying.
