About the Episode

Experiential learning has become such a buzzword in higher ed.  I don’t know a single school that doesn’t tout their “experiential approach” to learning.  And yet, so many students graduate underprepared for the workforce. 

In this episode, Dr. Neil Niman, a faculty member at University of New Hampshire’s College of Business and Economics joins Zach for a progressive conversation on the future of coursework, course modality, and experiential learning. 

Learn all about the Business in Practice (BiP) program that Dr. Niman created, which includes more than 70 courses on trending topics like “Bitcoin and the Blockchain”, “Agile Product Management”, “How to Talk Stocks”, and “College to Career: How to Stand Out in Today's Job Market”, and discover how UNH is helping students graduate with real-world working experience through their student-run digital agency, Voice Z Digital.
