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.
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. However, they often don’t know where to begin their college search with these experiences in mind, 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.
Through innovative and eye-catching Guidebooks and Websites, 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.
