What are the different types of experiential education at 色狼社区??
What is experiential education?
Experiential education is a learning approach where students gain knowledge and skills through hands-on experiences, such as internships, co-ops, service learning, and research projects, which complement their academic studies.
Why is experiential education important?
Experiential education bridges the gap between theory and practice, enhancing students' understanding of their field, developing practical skills, and improving employability.
What is the difference between an internship and a co/op?
Internships are typically short-term work experiences, often completed during the summer, while co-ops are longer-term and often integrated into the academic curriculum, alternating between periods of work and study.
How do I find an internship?
Our Office of Career Advancement, academic advisors, and faculty provide resources and support for finding opportunities, including job boards, employer partnerships, Linkedin.com, and career fairs.

Service learning combines community service with academic coursework, allowing students to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-world issues while benefiting the community.
