Allegheny College offers two courses in support of study away: EXL 300 is designed to help students prepare for and reflect on semester- or year-long off-campus study away experiences, and EXL 594 offers a shorter, intensive study away experience. In addition, a limited number of internships in the health professions are offered as experiential learning courses. More information about these and other off-campus opportunities is available at the Allegheny Gateway.

Experiential Learning: Learning Outcomes

Students who successfully complete an experiential learning experience will:

1. Gain first-hand knowledge of a different cultural perspective through immersion and active participation in the local (domestic or international) community;
2. Develop the ability to critically examine issues from various cultural perspectives;
3. Develop a heightened sense of global and local interconnections and interdependencies;
4. Increase awareness and gain insight into how culture shapes values, beliefs, and identity.
