Experiential Learning in Criminal Justice Faculty/Student PanelThis presentation will focus on a variety of experiential learning opportunities (ELO’s) that have been used in the Criminal Justice department at Cal Lutheran University. Faculty members and select undergraduate majors will describe how the department's curriculum integrates a range of ELO's, including: internships, field trips, service-learning, and research projects. Our goal is to combine the academic rigors of traditional, classroom-based learning with exposure to hands-on, real-world, subject-based knowledge. We explain the multi-stage framework that is used to tie all of our ELO’s together across the department. ELO's offer significant academic and professional benefits for students as indicated by positive student feedback, including results from senior and alumni surveys. |
