Applied learning includes experiences such as practicum, undergraduate research, internships, clinical placement, civic engagement, service learning, cooperative learning, and independent/directed study. Research on applied learning in the classroom shows that it is an accepted method to reach student learning outcomes and increase student's ability to function effectively in their career, civic, and continued education during and beyond their undergraduate education. While there is research on the effectiveness of applied learning as a pedagogy, implementing applied learning across an institution with various disciplines needs investigation.
