High-Impact Practices
One of Elon University’s distinctions is its leadership in the area of “high-impact” educational practices. These practices are seen as particularly beneficial for the development of undergraduate students. Each year U.S. News & World Report issues a “Focus on Student Success” ranking of key programs that enrich the college experience. Elon is the only university in the nation identified as a leader in eight high-impact practices:
- Study abroad
- Internships
- Senior capstone experiences
- First-year experiences
- Learning communities
- Service learning
- Undergraduate research/creative projects
- Writing in the disciplines
The faculty and staff in the School of Communications are strongly committed to having students engage in these high-impact practices. Participation rates of 2023 ElonComm graduates are listed below:
