<aside> 💡 What is EL Credit: Experiential Learning (EL) Credit at the University of Georgia is an opportunity for UGA students to gain hands-on experience outside the walls of the classroom. Through an activity of their choice, students are able to further pursue personal interests in various formats, such as research projects, studying abroad, internships, or community-based learning, and integrate teachings from their curriculum and from the world around them.

Though there are many methods of obtaining EL Credit, UGAHacks offers a unique opportunity to develop a project right from campus while interacting with our corporate sponsors!
