EXPERIENTIAL
LEARNING AND THE
LIBERAL ARTS
Lycoming opened its Center
for Enhanced Academic
Experiences during the fall
semester to oversee internships
and career advising, funded
student-faculty research and
global education experiences.
Beginning with the class
of 2019, all students are
required to complete at least
one enhanced academic
experience, enabling them to
create an educational portfolio
uniquely designed to position
them for future careers.
“The center is integral to
our model of a 21st century
liberal arts education, one
that combines the power of
experiential learning with the
proven value of the liberal arts
education that Lycoming has
provided since its founding,”
said Kent Trachte, president.
