Is it applied learning or experiential learning?

These terms are used interchangeably. Applied and experiential learning refers to the process of learning by doing , of engaging in hands-on experiences that better connect classroom learning to real-world situations. The phrase ‘applied learning’ is commonly used within higher education, whereas the term ‘experiential learning’ typically describes the process for individuals outside of higher education (legislators, businesses, etc.)

University Affairs and idfive will administer a survey to prospective students to assess their understanding of these and related terms. Survey results will inform core messaging pillars.
