Experiential Learning
Experiential Learning
The Experiential Learning team within the Teaching and Learning Commons aims to make "learning by doing" more accessible at UC San Diego. Our team focuses on building bridges between 1) theory and practice 2) college experiences and career opportunities and 3) academics and co-curricular experiences. Our team has signature programs and tools, but we also hope to elevate experiential learning opportunities across campus.
Academic Internship Program
Earn academic credit for your internship and deepen your learning by enrolling in one of AIP’s special studies internship courses: AIP 97, AIP 197, and AIP 197P. Build experience and explore a professional setting while working with a faculty advisor to connect theory and practice. AIP courses are open to undergraduates of all majors.
UC Washington Center (UCDC)
UC Washington Center (UCDC) is an academic program that allows students to continue their studies and gain valuable on-the-job experience while they live and study in Washington D.C. Open to all majors, UCDC hosts extraordinary internship opportunities in every field.
Co-Curricular Record
UC San Diego has an official record called the Co-Curricular Record (CCR) which highlights student involvement and achievements in opportunities beyond the classroom. Each opportunity includes a brief description and the competencies and skills developed on an official CCR transcript.
REAL Portal
The REAL (Research Experience and Applied Learning) Portal offers research, internship, international, service learning, entrepreneurial, leadership, and other co-curricular opportunities that help students build real-world skills and apply knowledge gained in the classroom. Many listings in the REAL Portal are also cross-listed in Handshake.
