Experiential Learning Opportunities

Opportunities to learn outside the classroom are a critical component of a college education. Experiential learning programs provide a powerful mechanism for students to apply knowledge and information acquired from their academic program and for employers to evaluate future talent.
Types of Experiential Learning Opportunities

Internships
An internship is most often a one-semester experience that may or may not be for course credit.

Cooperative Education
Cooperative education programs are multi-semester experiences that are always for course credit and always paid.

Volunteering
Non-profit organizations have the ability to seek students as volunteers in addition to seeking interns or co-op candidates. Volunteer opportunities are posted in Handshake.

Micro-internships and Project-based Experiences
Micro-internships are short-term, paid work experiences that provide your company with immediate support on professional projects.
