Learning through experience
Learning can happen in a variety of settings, and through all different kinds of experiences. At CGCC, we believe in creating opportunities to apply knowledge to real-world problems. We call it Experiential Learning because it allows you to learn by doing, interacting with your community and building your skills. You can research a particular issue of interest, work on special projects, write essays about your experiences, and take the time to reflect more deeply on what you’ve learned.
