Nazareth College

Reflection, awareness, and integration are the hallmarks of the Nazareth College undergraduate experiential learning requirement in the core curriculum. To integrate these out-of-the-classroom learning experiences, you will:

• Describe and reflect on what you have learned — and how. This enhances your learning by building connections between your experiences, career development goals, and civic life — and prepares you to discuss all of this at a job interview.
• Explore, evaluate, and articulate your personal and social values.
• Integrate and apply the skills and knowledge you have gained in the classroom to practical experiences and problems locally and in our world.
