High-Impact Practices and Experiential Learning

UWF is committed to providing students with the opportunity to experience learning inside and outside of the classroom. See below for the opportunities and programs!

Why should I participate?
Students who participate in high-impact practices (HIPs) and experiential learning are better equipped to face the challenges and demands of a 21st Century global society. Research suggests that students who engage in two or more HIPs are found to have higher GPAs and higher overall student engagement.
Benefits:
- Boost employability by building workforce-ready skills.
- Higher GPA and graduation rates.
- Learn and retain information.
- Engage with faculty at higher-than-average student/faculty interaction rates.
- Connect inside and outside the classroom.
- Receive personal and professional growth opportunities.
- Become eligible for one of several high-impact and experiential learning awards.
