Our Mission

The Experiential Learning Center is a bridge between theory and practice in preparing Marshall Students for their careers

Established in 1967, the ELC facilities located at the Jill and Frank Fertitta Hall and at the Jane and Christopher Popovich Hall serve the educational needs of the Marshall Undergraduate and Graduate Students, respectively.  

The ELC provides Marshall Students with opportunities to practice their interpersonal and management skills. This innovative approach unique among business schools, results in more effective learning outcomes that better prepares them for their careers as managers and business professionals.

ELC houses an extensive library of experiential activities that are used to simulate real-life business situations. These exercises cover a wide range of business concepts that include: leadership, teamwork, communication, negotiation, and decision-making.
