Palmetto College

Integrative and Experiential Learning

The University of South Carolina encourages all students to be engaged in meaningful beyond-the-classroom activities, such as study abroad, community service opportunities, and student organizations. Whether you focus on campus offerings or move out into the local community and beyond, it is important to apply your studies to explore new possibilities. Reflecting on these activities is also important so that you can understand how your experiences connect to personal, academic, and professional goals. 

  • Whether you are interested in community service, research, study abroad or just meeting new and diverse people, USC has many ways to get involved. Learn more about these opportunities.
  • GarnetGate is a great way to find organizations and attend events.  
  • The Leadership and Service Center has opportunities for leadership development, civic engagement, volunteering and community service.  View a list of current opportunities on their website. 
  • Graduation with Leadership Distinction is a formal honor designated for students who demonstrate extensive and purposeful engagement beyond the classroom.  Pathway students can begin working on this distinction their first semester on campus.
