Introduction

Olin College takes student development one step further with the Learning Continuum. Olin’s community embraces a seamless learning environment where student learning is understood through the student’s whole experience. At Olin, learning is not contained to one class, internship, or leadership opportunity; learning is a set of experiences to build on each other and to flow from one area of a student’s life to another.

The Olin College Learning Continuum consists of courses, undergraduate research opportunities with faculty, non-degree Passionate Pursuits, transcript noted Co-Curricular Offerings, community service, committee work or other service to the college, clubs and organizations, project teams, recreation and post-graduate planning. The community encourages student participation along the full range of opportunities in the Learning Continuum and works to foster connections among the elements on the continuum.
