Real-World Learning
We do not learn from experience... we learn from reflecting on experience.
John Dewey
The School of World Studies is committed to real-world learning which fosters education and engagement outside the classroom, and includes opportunities such as study abroad, internships and service learning courses.
All School of World Studies majors are required to complete at least one of these opportunities, though many choose more. The World ePass showcases these experiences, as well as academic achievements, and is also a graduation requirement.

World ePass
With the World ePass, you can highlight experiences and skills gleaned beyond the core curriculum, including cultural competencies, real-world learning, research participation, conference presentations and more.
