Experiential Learning
All Lake Erie College students have the opportunity to apply their learning and earn academic credit through experiential learning. These experiences help gain the necessary real world experience to inform career paths and develop relationships that connect to employment after graduation. Reach out to the Office of Career Development and Experiential Learning and your Faculty Advisor to discuss how experiential learning can fit into your academic plan.
When applying for experiential learning for academic credit, the following is needed: an internship description from the provider, a syllabus from the faculty advisor, and a resume from the student. Check with your advisor to see if an internship is required in your major. 50 hours of internship earns one academic credit. The experiential learning application can be picked up at the Career Development and Experiential Learning office or downloaded from their website: www.lec.edu/careerdevelopmentand-experiential-learning
Study Abroad
Academic Programs Abroad
In 1953, Lake Erie became the first college in the United States to institute a mandatory full term of courses to be taken abroad as a requirement for graduation. While this is no longer a requirement for our students, it is a legacy of which we are proud and an experience we still encourage all our students to undertake. Fast forward from the 1950s into the new century: our world is becoming increasingly interconnected, with more and more of the most exciting and well-paying jobs requiring cultural awareness, fluency in foreign languages, and the ability to thrive in another culture. Responding to the quickly evolving demands of work skills needed in the modern world, Lake Erie College offers innovative programs designed to introduce students into the global marketplace and, for those who choose such a career path, provide continued opportunities for preparation and growth. Today, you can “go global” in practically any field. What is your passion? Lake Erie College stands ready to support a semester-long experience or short-term study abroad relevant to your academic field to help you on your way towards meeting fascinating new people who share your passion, and to further your educational and professional goals.
Semester Programs
Spending a semester abroad is an intercultural experience that integrates cross-cultural enrichment with academic learning and unique study opportunities not often available in the United States. It is, therefore, very much a part of today’s total liberal arts education. The Academic Program Abroad (APA) may be used to satisfy one of the CORE requirements (global perspectives goal), in conjunction with the IS 300/301 course series. The APA is usually taken during the second half of the sophomore or first half of the junior year, but may be taken at any time from the start of the sophomore year on. The student selects a study center appropriate to individual interest and needs with input from the Office of Career Development and Experiential Learning and Study Abroad. Often, the choice will depend upon courses available at the host school and/or available facility in a second language; however, interest in a particular internship program, a living experience or a special area of study may also influence the choice of destination. The program includes a semester of preparation for living in another culture prior to departure. While abroad, students work in various subject areas with native faculty, explore aspects of the culture through independent studies or an internship and keep a journal reflecting thoughts and experiences. Academic credit earned for the experience is evaluated before departure, and may count toward major, minor, or specific course requirements with approval of the Dean of the relevant area, or as elective credit.
Experiences abroad are not necessarily more expensive than a semester on campus. Situations vary depending on the individual, but in most cases students pay tuition through Lake Erie College and are registered as a Lake Erie College student while abroad. Financial aid usually applies to the experience. In order to guarantee consideration for financial aid, students must notify the Office of Career Development and Experiential Learning and Study Abroad of their intent (or interest) to go abroad no later than March 1 of the preceding year. All students planning to go abroad are encouraged to register for IS 300: Intercultural Relationships I as part of their preparation for travel.
Students planning on studying in a country having a primary language other than English are STRONGLY encouraged to have at least 3 semesters of experience in the target language, or otherwise demonstrate similar fluency. Students wishing to go abroad are required to have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.75, or a requisite grade point average of the foreign institution, whichever is higher. Additionally, all students must be in good financial standing with Lake Erie College, and receive clearance from the Executive Director for Student Life certifying that they have no ongoing known behavioral or emotional concerns that might impact the experience abroad.
Short Term Programs
Lake Erie College offers short term study abroad programs of 8 days to approximately 4 weeks in length. These programs are taught and led by Lake Erie College faculty to various destinations, and are taken either during spring break or during the summer session immediately after spring graduation. These programs may consist of a semester of instruction on campus before or after the trip, intense accelerated classes while abroad, or a combination of both. These courses are offered to all full time undergraduate students who meet the minimum requirements of a 2.5 cumulative GPA, are in good standing with the school, and who complete a study tour application for committee review and approval, or at the discretion of the faculty leading the study trip exceptions include alumni and students with a GPA below 2.5. Credit for these trips usually ranges from 4-8 hours depending on the trip. For programs designated as Study Tours, students applying to go on these trips may also apply for a one-time subsidy to help pay for the cost of the trip. The amount of this subsidy varies depending on the cost of the trip and the number of enrollments in a given year. While students may participate in more than one trip, they may only receive one subsidy. This subsidy is not available to all participants, and is competitive. Not every short- term program qualifies as a study tour; those that do not and are discipline-specific are normally offered as a ‘full-pay’ trip, where the student must cover the entire cost of travel out of pocket. Students will be advised whether the trip they are interested in is a study tour or discipline-specific full-pay option by the Office of Career Development and Experiential Learning and Study Abroad, Registrar’s Office, or by the faculty member(s) leading the trip.
Although students are encouraged to take these trips as early as possible, graduating seniors who wish to participate in a trip taking place in the semester immediately following their graduation may do so IF the trip departs within 20 days of graduation and if they have successfully submitted an application and are otherwise eligible with regards to GPA and residency requirements. They may also apply for the subsidy, when applicable, assuming it has not been used previously. Credit earned in such cases will apply to the normal course of study if the class associated with the trip is taught before departure, or will be post-baccalaureate in nature (and will not count towards a degree) if the class is offered completely or mainly in the summer.
Students must fulfill the appropriate on-campus course and/or meeting requirements in order to participate in the trip portion of the course, or must meet the required class schedule while overseas as the case may be, in order to earn credit for this trip. The trip portion of the experience itself is also academic in nature, and must be satisfactorily completed in order to earn a passing grade in the course(s). Students will be held to the standards of student codes of conduct while abroad. Anyone violating these codes will result in the student being sent home at their own cost. Students must also be in reasonably good health. Travel for any student with a pre-existing health condition must be approved by the student’s physician, and all participants are required to pass a physical.
Many short term programs also fulfill the Core Requirement Global Perspectives Goal - but not all. Students wishing to use a study tour for this requirement should verify that it satisfies the criteria before enrolling.

Academic Learning Center (ALC)
Academic Learning Center:
tutoring@lec.edu
The Lake Erie College Academic Learning Center, located in the Lincoln Library, serves as a focal point within the College community for the creation and promotion of an enriched learning environment where all students have the opportunity to fulfill their academic potential. The Academic Learning Center provides students with a range of services to enhance specific academic skills, and thereby increase their prospects for academic success. The Center is divided into three primary areas: the Writing Center, Math Lab and Tutorial Services.
Writing Center
The mission of the Lake Erie College Writing Center is to assist students in becoming stronger, more confident writers. The Writing Center is open to any student who wants to enrich his/her writing or develop presentations for class. The Writing Center is not limited by discipline - students from all classes and majors are welcome.
Writing Assistants provide help in all areas of the composition process. Whether students need aid in understanding the text, generating ideas, writing a paper draft, editing their work, or working on sentence level grammar and structure concerns, the Writing Center is there. In addition to written communication, Writing Assistants provide support in developing class presentations. Writing Assistants will not do the work for the student, but supply a space where students can think through their ideas and talk with a trained peer about goals and plans for the assignment. Each Writing Assistant must first complete a semester-long course in Composition and Writing Center Theory as part of their initial training.
Math Lab
The Math Lab is available on a walk-in basis for students to be able to get help with any mathematics courses in which they may be enrolled. Some math courses require students to attend the Lab on a weekly basis during which time they are encouraged to work in small groups on classroom assignments, review for upcoming exams, or ask questions about concepts with which they may be having difficulty. The purpose of these directed Math Lab sessions is to provide students with additional hands-on learning opportunities to effectively supplement the material covered in the classroom. Oversight of the Math Lab is maintained by the Math Lab Director and the Coordinator of the Academic Learning Center, both of whom are available, along with a number of peer tutors, to assist students during the hours of operation.
Tutorial Services
Help is also available in other popular areas through Tutorial Services. Tutoring is regularly offered in first-year courses in Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Psychology. Foreign language tutoring is coordinated through the Foreign Language Department. Students should consult the Academic Learning Center’s online calendar for times and subject areas.
Students may request assistance in any subject area not already covered by the Writing Center, Math Lab, or Tutorial Services. Requests may be made by email at tutoring@lec.edu or by contacting any member of the Academic Learning Center staff. Every effort will be made to secure a tutor in a given area if none are already on staff.
To ensure a high level of competency, all peer tutors have secured the recommendation of a full-time faculty member and have demonstrated a high level of proficiency in advanced coursework. All tutoring services are free to Lake Erie College students and are offered throughout the week at convenient times in the morning, afternoon, and evening. The hours of operation for all ALC services are posted on LEO, on posters and flyers across campus, and through regular email and Twitter updates.
Special Academic Opportunities
Independent Study/Individual Investigation
An Independent Study is a course offered regularly in the curriculum but which is necessary for the students to take on an individual basis.
An Individual Investigation is a focused-research or advanced performance project, not offered in the current undergraduate catalog. An individual investigation course provides a student with the opportunity to explore a special topic of interest with a faculty member knowledgeable in the subject matter. Unlike a regular course taught in the classroom, an Individual Investigation involves a relatively unstructured format defined by the student and the instructor. Since the individual investigation is a method and not a subject, it is expected that a student will be registered for the actual subject of the study, described in a way that can be entered on the transcript under the number 160, 260, 360 or 460 which indicates the elementary, intermediate or advanced level of the work to be performed.
Students will be limited to one Independent Study/Individual Investigation per academic year. An additional course fee may be assessed for Independent Studies. To be eligible for independent coursework, the student must:
- Have attained junior or senior status
- Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0
- Have a 3.0 in the major, minor or concentration, if the course will satisfy a requirement
- Complete an Independent Study Individual Investigation Form
Credit for Dual Enrollment Option Coursework
Students who have completed college coursework through a dual enrollment program while in high school must provide official transcripts from the college or university to receive credit at Lake Erie College. Transfer course policies as stated in the Criteria for Acceptance of Transfer Credit section of this catalog apply.
Online Learning
Lake Erie College has a long tradition of delivering quality educational experiences. Now those experiences will reach far beyond the physical campus. In addition to already existing online courses, Lake Erie College is further incorporating online learning throughout its curriculum and educational programs. Online learning uses technology to enhance, support and maximize a student’s education and fosters Lake Erie College student’s integration of coursework and technology. Students of Lake Erie College who engage in online learning are preparing themselves for future professional opportunities by upgrading their experience and use of various technologies that employers seek for their organizations.
Power-Up Scholarship Program
The Power-Up Scholarship Program provides opportunities for motivated students to accelerate their growth personally, professionally, and academically in line with the College’s Pathway to Empowerment (P2E) initiative. Each year, students that complete the Power-Up checkpoints by attending designated campus events and other empowering activities are able to earn between $1,000 and $2,000 scholarship for the subsequent academic year. To be eligible, students must apply and be accepted into Power-Up by the posted deadline each fall. Students must complete an application, including an essay on one of the four phases of the Pathway to Empowerment (P2E). Additional details may be found on the Lake Erie College website under “P2E” or by contacting the Coordinator for Co-Curricular and Academic Engagement. Additional details may be found on the Lake Erie College website at www.lec.edu/p2e and questions may be directed by email to p2e@lec.edu
Honors Program
The Lake Erie College Honors Program is an exciting option that focuses on an interdisciplinary core of courses designed to challenge and stimulate our highest achieving students.
The mission of the Lake Erie College Honors program is to provide highly motivated and engaged students with experiential learning and personal development activities that will enrich their experience inside and outside of the classroom. By reflecting upon the learning opportunities present in every facet of life, students’ increased self-awareness, concern for the welfare of others, and career readiness will more effectively position them for post-graduation personal and professional success.
