Abstract
High Impact Practices (HIP) in higher education are course based, credit-bearing educational experiences in which students (a) participate in an organized activity that meets learning outcomes and (b) reflects on the activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline and an enhanced sense of civic responsibility. The Association of American Colleges and Universities (AACU) endorses HIP as a way for encouraging academic institutions to incorporate experiential learning into both graduate and undergraduate program curricula. Students in HIP programs are provided with real-world learning experiences that help faculty integrate teaching, learning, and public service. HIP activities used include first-year experiences, common intellectual experiences, learning communities, diversity/global learning (study abroad), internships and capstone projects.
