High-Impact Practices (HIPs) engage students in a transformative undergraduate experience within and beyond the classroom. Our goal is to ensure that all Otis College students have access to and engage in multiple high-impact practices in their academic career and gain the relevant academic knowledge, skills, and dispositions they need to be career-ready and engaged citizens upon graduation.
The following teaching and learning practices have been widely tested and have been shown to be beneficial for college students from many backgrounds. These practices take many forms, depending on learner characteristics and on institutional priorities and contexts.
