Courses For Experiential Learning (ACCEL) at Allegheny College
Experiential Learning (ACCEL)
The Allegheny College Center for Experiential Learning (ACCEL) coordinates a variety of activities–non-credit career internships, off-campus study programs (domestic and abroad), service-learning, and leadership development– that are designed to help students make connections between their academic programs and co-curricular experiences. Students are active learners.
Through participation in experiential learning activities, students develop interpersonal, communication, critical thinking and job-related skills; gain self-confidence; and gain experience to enhance their marketability. ACCEL serves as a clearinghouse for experiential learning activities, and staff members are available to assist students with the creation and selection of these activities. The ACCEL Resource Center offers materials on all of these areas and programs. The ACCEL website offers a comprehensive experiential learning database, through which students can research various opportunities.
The following courses are supported through the ACCEL office. For more information on these, as well as details on the programs offered by ACCEL, see Allegheny College Center for Experiential Learning in the Student Life and Services section of this catalogue.
300 Cross-Cultural Learning: Theory and Practice I
Required of all students in Allegheny-sponsored off-campus programs. This course provides grounding in cross-cultural learning and communication, and guidelines for reflection on experiential learning. It provides a framework for students to explore the dimensions of their time off-campus differences and similarities among people, lifestyles, learning styles, and even knowledge itself. Students must complete the pre-departure orientation requirements (readings, assignments, paperwork submissions, etc.), on-site blogs, and re-entry assignments (final paper & poster session) upon return to Allegheny. The course is posted to their transcript the semester they return to campus. Credit: One semester hour.

Prerequisite: One service-learning course.
202 Service Learning: Theory and Practice II
A seminar and practicum focusing on the use of service and community engagement as a pedagogy for higher education.

This is the second of a two-part sequence on service-learning theory and practice and culminates in a formal presentation on the service-learning project undertaken. Credit: Two semester hours. Prerequisite: INTDS 201.
594 Experiential Learning Travel Seminars
A short-term intensive course usually offered between semesters or after spring semester. Travel Seminars typically include travel in the U.S. or abroad, and incorporate direct observation of or involvement in activities that complement or illustrate the subject matter. The seminars integrate students’ experiential learning activities with theory and research in various fields. Students are exposed to diverse ideas, peoples, cultures, or ways of living and thinking. The courses are designed and taught by Allegheny faculty. Individual Experiential Learning Seminars are reviewed by the International Working Group and approved by the Curriculum Committee.
