HOME =Learning Beyond at SU =


 * Learning Beyond ** is a dynamic educational philosophy here at Stevenson University. Learning Beyond is learning outside of the classroom; and encompasses a variety of opportunities and experiences that enable students to explore the world and discover their values, interests, skills, and abilities.

At Stevenson, classroom experiences provide knowledge and skills, while Learning Beyond allows students to apply what they’ve learned in the outside world. The pairing of Learning Beyond and traditional, classroom-based learning greatly enhances a student's College experience.

Learning Beyond opportunities include:

Study Abroad ** - ** To see the world, to leave expectations behind, and to redefine oneself. That's what it is to study abroad. Stevenson students have travelled to Botswana, Australia, England, the Dominican Republic, and many other exotic locations.

Service Learning ** - ** Students become engaged by participating in activities which allow them to help others. Whether they mentor in Baltimore City, travel to New Orleans to build homes, or venture to Haiti to work in health clinics, students will be able to try new things and connect campus with community.

Campus Based Research - Students work with a faculty member on a study or research project tailored to the student’s interests such as the impact of enzymes on diabetes or voting patterns of different age groups.

One Credit Option  - Enable professors and students to research topics such as the demise of the American Stock Exchange or the wonders of a Utah desert in summer through trips, interviews, and surveys.
