Clemson University’s Creative Inquiry + Undergraduate Research program was cited as one of 17 model programs across the country by Duke University in its open access publication “Collaborative Project-Based Learning in Higher Education: Case Studies.”
The report serves as a resource for faculty, staff and administrators in higher education to learn about how to implement project-based learning programs and incorporate such programs into their curricula. The report was produced as a complement to a symposium produced by the BASS Connections Program at Duke University.
Clemson’s program was highlighted in the category of reaching more than 750 students per year. Other universities included in that category include Duke, Georgia Tech, Worcester Polytechnic Institute and Ball State University. Creative Inquiry impacted more undergraduate students annually than did any other program in the report.
“Creative Inquiry was invited to participate in the conference and submit a case study on the basis of its key features, including collaborative projects, multidisciplinary approach, and student impact. The report highlights and advertises the strengths of the Creative Inquiry Program at Clemson to the wider academic community,” said Barbara Speziale, director of Creative Inquiry + Undergraduate Research and associate director of the Watt Family Innovation Center.
