Integrative Learning

Integrative learning encourages students to make connections between all aspects of their lives — academic, professional and personal. These connections can be made by applying knowledge gained in classes and other life experiences to new, complex situations.

EIU provides significant learning and life opportunities through which students, faculty and staff work together to connect academic, professional and personal activities into a harmonious whole. As students reflect on the meaning of their learning and their lives, they become confident, lifelong learners and engaged, responsible citizens.

Ways Students Can Be Part of Integrative Learning at EIU

  1. The Office of Study Abroad helps students gain knowledge of their discipline, an awareness of the world, and enhanced self-confidence.
  2. Undergraduate research provides students the opportunity to apply their knowledge and experiences to developing solutions to new problems.
  3. Pratical and clinical experiences give students first-hand knowledge of the career for which they are preparing.
