College hunting? We’re taking a look at a unique offering that makes William Peace University (WPU) stand out: Immersive Learning.
Immersive Learning is actively applying knowledge through engaging + career-preparing experiences, both inside and outside the classroom. Here’s four reasons why that’s important:
🧑🎓 Immersive Learning leads to positive post-college outcomes.
96% of WPU graduates have jobs or are in graduate school within one year of graduating.
🤝 Every single WPU course features immersive learning experiences.
This results in more meaningful learning + opportunities to build relationships and develop problem-solving skills. Bonus: Class sizes are deliberately small to further encourage collaboration and community.
🔍 Active engagement strategies are utilized.
From simulations and role-playing to case studies and off-campus excursions, students engage with subject matters, including:
- Taking measurements in Crabtree Creek
- Investing in the stock market (risk-free)
- Conducting a mock election
- Replicating a drug bust — with help from Triangle law enforcement
🧑🏫 Immersive Learning works.
Equipped with decision-making experience, self-confidence, and communication skills, WPU students report feeling prepared for their future careers.
