Real-world experience, or experiential learning, helps you refine your skills and professionalism as you approach your post-graduation career. The flexibility offered through multiple types of experiential learning supports a wider scope of opportunities in which you can engage in during school breaks that provide increased ways to experience hands-on learning with a corporate partner. The Juan and Lisa Jones Center for Career Preparation is here to help you identify and explore the various types of experiential learning opportunities to meet the 80-hour internship requirement. Experiential Learning Opportunities Through internships, you’ll be working under the supervision of an experienced professional and engaged in hands-on projects, making connections in your field, and exploring your career path. Volunteering Volunteering in work-related areas to your major qualifies for experiential learning hours. Experiential learning opportunities do not have to be paid, but you will need to complete the experiential learning application form Part-time Job or Job Shadowing Working part-time during the summer for a career-related industry can earn you hours for experiential learning.

I worked on contract renewals and learned a lot about hardware and software contracts. —Isaac Gwin Get Credit for Your Work We value all types of experiential learning opportunities in all academic settings, both on and off campus. Experiential learning encourages you to leverage real-world, practical experiences that support your short- and long-term career goals.
