Experiential Learning
Experiential learning enables students to apply what they’ve learned to a variety of rich experiences outside the classroom, but student health and safety is a priority. Students on co-op should follow guidance from their employers. Study abroad programs are suspended until further notice.
Cooperative Education
For fall co-op assignments, students should follow guidance from their employers about reporting to a company site or if they will be working remotely. Follow the employer's workplace policies and procedures for safety. Career Services Coordinators are available for questions or concerns.
Study Abroad
Study abroad programs and all international travel by students for the 2020-2021 academic year are suspended until further notice. Applications for summer 2021 travel programs will remain open as we monitor the situation. Students can participate in a number of virtual intercultural experiences, such as virtual overseas internships, for students seeking to enrich their cultural knowledge and develop global leadership skills.
