High-Impact Practices
High-Impact Practices are undergraduate opportunities strongly associated with student learning and retention. They demand considerable time and effort, facilitate learning outside of the classroom, require meaningful interactions with faculty and fellow students, encourage collaboration with diverse people, and provide frequent and substantive feedback. Participation in these practices can be life-changing! Education experts say that all students should participate in at least two HIPs during their undergraduate experience, and Wagner students report doing just that at significantly higher levels than students at comparable colleges.
