Academics

Hands-on Learning

Develop your knowledge, skills and values from real-world experiences outside a traditional academic setting.

Connect your academics with applications in the professional world , and build knowledge in the subject matter while also gaining relevant skills.

Push yourself outside your comfort zone, immersing yourself in other cultures and perspectives.

Dive into your own – or partner on your professor’s – hands-on research project, presenting on-campus or across the continent. Strive to have your research included in the binational Marpeck Undergraduate Research Journal.

You’ll actively apply theories learned in class to real-life situations – all while you explore your vocation, participate in servant leadership, develop your cultural awareness and engage with your community.
