Experiential Learning

Hands-on learning for real-world application

Experiential learning is a vital part of the Kroc School's approach to education. In recent years, Kroc School students have participated in field-based learning courses locally in San Diego and around the world, in countries such as Colombia, Mexico and Haiti. Our students have been to Washington, D.C., Northern Ireland, Rwanda and more in recent years.
