Overview of Experiential Learning

Experiential Learning 

The hands-on experiences that turn 
knowledge into know-how. 

At RIT Croatia, experiential learning enables students to apply what they’ve learned through lectures, assignments, and projects to a variety of rich experiences outside the classroom. These meaningful exchanges expand students’ knowledge and broaden their perspectives by refining their professional and intellectual competencies, cultivating their leadership abilities, advancing their career development, and further developing their talents.

Cooperative Education (co-op)

Cooperative education is full-time, paid work experience in a corporate setting. Students often alternate co-op blocks with semesters of on-campus study. 

RIT has the fourth-oldest and one of the largest cooperative education programs in the world, annually placing more than 4,500 students in more than 6,200 co-op assignments with more than 2,200 employing organizations. We continue to lead by example in creating various co-op opportunities for our students through networking and events specifically designed to boost students’ learning experience and their future careers.
