LA 380 - Experiential Learning & Portfolio Preparation

This course is designed to enable studens to explore experiential learning and other alternative methods of college-level learning in the context of their professional goals and prior work, training and other experiences.

With the guidance of the instructor, students will examine their professional goals, how they align with available college majors and what prior learning experiences would support the requirements of the chosen major. Students will learn to identify and assess learning that has occurred outside of the classroom, develop a narrative, document their learning and present their portfolio for an experiential learning assessment. This class is required for students planning to request credit by portfolio assessment. Students can earn up to 15 semester hours towards a bachelor’s degree.
