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 (co-op) is an integral part of every undergraduate degree at RIT Croatia, providing students with full-time, professional work experience in their field of study where they apply classroom learning in real-world settings while building the skills and confidence needed for their future careers.
RIT has the fourth-oldest and one of the largest cooperative education programs in the world. RIT Croatia students complete their co-op with a wide range of employers, from global corporations and industry leaders to innovative startups, public institutions, and non-profit organizations. As RIT's global campus in Croatia, RIT Croatia continues the university's tradition of experiential learning by creating opportunities for students to connect with employers, alumni, and industry professionals, specifically designed to boost students’ learning experience and their future careers.
International Studying Experience
Through various international experiences, RIT Croatia students can enhance their cultural understanding and broaden their global view. Semesters of study at RIT’s global campuses through RIT’s Global Scholar program, Erasmus+ exchange opportunities throughout Europe, and captivating summer study programs are all designed to immerse students in new cultures and expand their world view.
Community Engagement
When students engage in community-based volunteering and service projects, they participate in meaningful experiences that teach civic responsibility and strengthen our global communities.
