Research demonstrates that SL/CE courses yield high benefits for students including better graduation rates, higher GPAs, and increased satisfaction with college – all while building specific career readiness skills like critical thinking, leadership, professionalism and self-and career management.
The benefits don’t stop there! Instructors report that SL/CE courses result in more engaged students, increased satisfaction, and unique scholarship opportunities. As mentioned during last semester’s SL/CE announcement, Upstate is increasingly recognizing SL/CE activities in the evaluation, promotion, and tenure processes for faculty.
