Beyond The Books
Student Horizons, Inc. is convinced that the quality of today’s
undergraduate experience is enhanced by experiential learning: research
projects, internships, community service and service-learning, study
abroad, leadership programs, entrepreneurial training, and living
learning communities.
This experiential curriculum enhances and augments classroom learning
and helps students develop transferable life skills that are critical
for a successful life after college. The best colleges are those that
use the whole campus experience—in the classroom and beyond—to
promote the connection between knowledge and action.
Access to inexpensive travel communications and technology has presented
a whole new world of hands on experiences within the college curriculum.
College students are well aware that they need practical experience
in the real world in addition to evidence of academic accomplishments
to attain top jobs. Today’s typical college student, ever more
complex and nontraditional, demands a more varied mode of learning.
However, they often don’t know where to begin their college
search or how to find the best choice for their personal situation.
The task of choosing the type of program in which to participate,
finding the correct campus contact, searching through the possibilities
and finally, choosing and applying for the program is often daunting.
The goal of Beyond the Books is to assist students in their search
for the college that best fits their needs by:
• Filling the need for a comprehensive informative database
for future and current college students to find unique learning opportunities
that will enhance and define their educational experience.
• Profiling the colleges and universities in the U.S. who excel
in experiential learning
• Offering a website for colleges, universities, and independent
programs to increase national exposure of their distinctive programs
and to put them in one place for quick and easy student access.
