Experiential Learning

Enrich Your Learning. Expand Your Network. Shape Your Future.

We believe that meaningful hands-on learning prepares students to navigate and lead in a complex world. Our dedicated advisors help students bridge coursework knowledge and skills with internships, study abroad, fieldwork, faculty-led research, and community-based learning. Through these experiences, our campus becomes a more multilingual, informed, and inclusive community for all.
