Service Learning
Service learning and internships are a central part of the educational experience we offer the students in our college. Each of our departments/programs has an extensive service learning/internship program that involves time spent outside the classroom in an effort to deepen student understanding of theories and knowledge learned in the classroom. Our students engage in meaningful community service with many local, regional, national, and international agencies and businesses.When our students have service learning experiences and internships as part of their coursework, they accomplish a plethora of goals, from enriching their learning experience to helping the community become a better place, from expanding their resume to experiencing potential careers. Students also make important contacts that may help them secure employment or pursue a graduate degree after completing their undergraduate education. Service learning is integral to student learning and the college experience, and it is beneficial to all partners involved.
