Grace Applied Learning Experiences WINONA LAKE – Grace College continues to prioritize educational experiences for its students – the most recent of which is the new Applied Learning Program, a part of the Student Affairs Office that works closely with Career Services. While applied learning has long been available for students majoring in education, it is now a required and invaluable experience for all Grace students. “Applied Learning” is a concept that emphasizes commitment to analytic inquiry, active learning, real-world problem solving, and innovation. Students may experience applied learning through both traditional and non-traditional assignments. The goal is to link knowledge and/or skills acquired in work, community, and/or research activities with knowledge acquired in the classroom and through traditional schoolwork. Beginning with the Fall 2011 Freshman class, each student will need to have completed 12 credits of applied learning to graduate. Each credit is equivalent to 40 hours of service, so by the time they graduate, Grace students will have at least 480 hours of applied learning experience in various settings.
