Transformative learning

Transformative learning is an institution-wide initiative and central to VCU’s emphasis on innovative teaching and learning as it prioritizes the critical role of reflection and psychosocial development in the learning process. Experiential learning, at its core, integrates disciplinary knowledge and intellectual skills with real-world experiences. Our commitment to experiential education fosters critical thinking, self-discovery, and personal growth, preparing students to become autonomous learners and engaged citizens. At VCU, transformative learning experiences include but are not limited to internships, clinical placements, community engagement, global learning experiences, and undergraduate research.
