Experiential Learning Requirements

Experiential Learning “supports students in gaining hands-on learning that helps them transition to employment”^[1]. Experiential Learning can take the form of co-operative education, degree work placement, clinical/field placement, fieldwork/simulation labs, capstone/applied research projects, and service learning.

Students complete their Arts Management program with a professional student-led arts symposium (www.artsahead.org) followed by a seven-week industry field placement that allows them to apply their knowledge and skills in a professional setting. It is a program credit and unpaid work term during which the students apply their skills on the job and are evaluated on the basis of daily work.

Students will be asked to read and sign a Student Informed Consent form in order to ensure that they understand their rights and the potential health and safety risks. Similarly, employers and/or placement hosts will be required to complete an Employer/Placement Health and Safety Site Checklist.
