Abstract: Educators are increasingly using experiential learning pedagogy to improve learning (knowledge and skills). Two highly effective experiential methods are live-case study projects and internships. This study examines the learning outcomes of courses with live-case study projects for students who have had a prior internship experience and those who have not as well as correlation analysis for each group. The results find that prior internship experience does improve applied project learning outcomes. Furthermore, the findings have implications of the importance for the integration of knowledge and skills development and the benefit of the live-case approach to particular student populations.
