UAlbany students learn by doing
At the University at Albany, learning by doing takes many forms — from undergraduate research and internships in the field, to project-based learning and service learning in the classroom.
The Minerva Center for High-Impact Practices supports high-impact practices in all UAlbany undergraduate programs, acting as a resource for both students and faculty.
Experiential learning prepares our students for success at UAlbany and beyond. Students who participate in these types of experiences generally:
- earn higher grades and develop a greater understanding of their course material
- learn problem solving and leadership skills
- form a deeper connection with their community
- build strong personal and professional networks
All undergraduate students — regardless of major, class year or area of interest — have opportunities to participate in high-impact practices. Visit the UAlbany Showcase website to learn about the research, experiential learning and creative activities our students engaged in this past academic year.
