Experiential Education_old

The hallmarks of a UNH education are quality educational opportunities at all post-secondary levels, through career-oriented academic programs with a strong liberal arts foundation, taught by a caring and highly qualified faculty in safe, convenient, and diverse campus environments.

The University of New Haven has a historical tradition of placing a higher value on a balanced ‘theory and practice’ approach to education. Continuing with this tradition, UNH is embarking on a new paradigm in the Experiential Education arena to promote greater levels of students learning across majors by augmenting the academic requirements with practice, real-life engagement, first-hand observation, and learning through discovery. UNH's Experiential Education initiative centers around the concept of L.I.F.E.

WHAT IS L.I.F.E.?
Learning through Faculty-Mentored Research
Immersion through Internships and Cooperative Education
Fulfillment through Academic Service Learning
Experience the world through Study Abroad
