As Michigan’s only art & design Opportunity College, named by Carnegie Classifications, CCS serves as a model for how campuses can foster student success.
Experiential learning is the process of learning by doing and includes anything from internships, industry sponsored projects, artistic installations, volunteer opportunities, basically practical hands-on experiences that will help prepare you for the career of your dreams.
By engaging students in hands-on experiences and reflection, they are better able to connect theories and knowledge learned in the classroom to real-world situations. The experiential learning activity can occur outside of the traditional classroom experience and/or be embedded as part of a course.
