Examples of Immersive Learning Projects
Here are just a few of the immersive learning experiences students can take part in:
  • Business Fellows – teams of students and faculty mentors work directly with Indiana businesses, organizations, or communities on projects that address specific problems

  • Virginia B. Ball Center for Creative Inquiry – interdisciplinary semester-long seminars that engage faculty, students, and community sponsors and produce a collaborative project that sparks public discussion

  • Study Abroad – Ball State students can take part in more than 50 programs in 40 countries and study in the university's academic centers in London, England; Lennox Head, Australia; and Toulouse, France

  • Digital Media Institutes – funded by a $20 million grant from Lilly Endowment Inc., the Institute for Intermedia and Animation, the Institute for Digital Entertainment and Education, and the Institute for Digital Fabrication and Rapid Prototyping offer students the opportunity to immerse themselves in research, learning, and practice on technology-based initiatives

  • Student Technology Incubator – supports digital technology entrepreneurs and cosponsors an annual technology business idea competition

  • Entrepreneurship Dynamics Laboratory – links students with new businesses for strategic planning and business plan development

  • Community-Based Projects Program – created by the College of Architecture and Planning, these projects combine teaching, research, and service activities

  • Capstone courses – many majors include a capstone course that requires students to complete a comprehensive project or report. The "senior sweat" course for entrepreneurship majors is one example.
