High Impact Practice

The American Association of Colleges & Universities (AAC&U) designated eleven practices as High Impact Practices (HIPs), based on evidence of “significant educational benefits for students who participate in them—including and especially those from demographic groups historically underserved by higher education.”

Research shows that students involved in at least one HIP during their undergraduate experience are likely to enjoy higher levels of learning success.

The more HIPs students participate in, the more likely they are to graduate in a timely way and achieve post-graduate success in their careers or graduate and professional school.
