EDLA 6720 Fieldwork in Higher Education

This experiential course integrates the theory to practice model by providing students the opportunity to integrate course material into an actual higher education setting and situation.

Throughout the semester students will also participate in a seminar to reflect and critically assess their fieldwork experience. They will also work with their peers and the seminar faculty leader on their project.
