What is a Guided Experience?

A Guided Experience is an out of class Experience for the Honors College facilitated by an expert in the field related to the Experience topic. Like all other out of class Experiences, your “final exam” is successful participation in the Experiential Learning Fair (ELF).

If you successfully complete this Guided Experience and the ELF, you will complete the Retirement Plan Experience. While the Guided Experience is at no cost to the student, the requirements and commitments are equivalent to a course.
