Hands-on Learning at the Heart of Experience One at the University of Montana Western in Dillon, Montana

Students at Montana Western are immersed in hands-on learning experiences. These experiential learning opportunities make up the heart of Experience One, a block scheduling program that allows students to focus on one course at a time for 18 days before moving to the next.

Because of the focused nature of Experience One at Montana Western, the only public four-year institution to offer the program, students are able to learn in the field and in the classroom while building their portfolios for future careers and graduate school applications.

Below are a few examples of how students have engaged in exciting hands-on learning experiences this year, and how their efforts are helping others at the same time.
