Center for Experiential Education

The Center for Experiential Education (CEE) seeks to enhance the academic curriculum through experiential learning. Experiential learning activities at UAlbany allow students to complement classroom knowledge and acquire relevant disciplinary and professional skills by participating in substantial, hands-on activities. Experiential or applied learning opportunities typically include planning, training, monitoring, reflection, and evaluation. Visit www.albany.edu/experiential-learning for more information.

The Center for Experiential Education also serves as a centralized home for the University’s skills badging programs. Developed by University faculty and staff, skills badges are industry-aligned competency-based online educational offerings. Badges enable learners to track, display and articulate verified evidence of competency development. While digital credentials are not academic credit-bearing at the University at Albany, they contain metadata, including information regarding the issuing institution, the date earned, the criteria required to earn the badge, and the associated evidence related to the awarded badge. Badges are transferable and portable – they can be posted to a variety of online platforms, including LinkedIn, digital portfolios, websites, and resumes.
