Praxis

Praxis is Bryn Mawr's experiential, community-based learning program. Praxis builds on the College's strong tradition of community involvement and civic engagement. Praxis is premised on the principle that social responsibility and "real world" preparedness are achieved through a combination of classroom-based theory with practical experience. The essence of Praxis is the integration of intensive academic study with rigorous, relevant fieldwork. Learn More...
