Learning Beyond the Classroom Requirement
To enhance career preparation and independent critical thinking skills, undergraduate students in the College of Arts and Science must complete a Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) course or activity. In general, the Learning Beyond the Classroom (LBC) requirement is not met in a regular course through normal homework outside class but through significant independent learning activities.
Options for satisfying the Learning Beyond the Classroom requirement
Option 1: Successfully complete a pre-approved LBC course
Certain courses have been designed to provide structured opportunities for completing your Learning Beyond the Classroom requirement. Some of these preapproved courses include activities such as internships, practicums, student teaching placements, honors theses, non-thesis undergraduate research experiences, and preceptorships.
For a list of courses, see the undergraduate course catalog.
Option 2: Successfully complete the LBC protocol
Other activities outside of the pre-approved LBC courses may also be used to fulfill the LBC requirement. Some examples of activities may include internships, undergraduate teaching assistantships, study abroad, etc. To seek approval and meet the requirement students must follow the LBC Protocol which can be found in the link below.
