Besides classroom instruction, what other experiences are provided for student learning?
Many service learning and experiential education components are built into the curriculum at Daniel Webster College. For example, freshmen writing and math students can opt to participate in service learning programs at the local public schools. As part of these programs, DWC students get to reinforce their writing and math skills by acting as coaches to younger students. Students in the American Cultural History class help immigrants to the United States improve their English skills and learn about American history. Included in this project is a day trip for all participating students to Ellis Island and the Tenement Museum. Many students in the professional writing class get some practical experience by writing reports, surveys, brochures etc. for non-profits in the area. Experiential learning is key at DWC and all degree programs offer many courses that incorporate this approach.
