Real world experiences, like internships and job shadowing, allow you to apply what you've learned and dig deeper into your field of study. We incorporate real world experiences from outside the classroom through case studies, scenarios and problem solving. Corporate faculty and internships enable you to connect theory with practical applications by experiencing the material first-hand, ensuring that what you learn is highly relevant in your future career.
This experiential approach to your educational is at the cornerstone of the University’s mission, values. These real-world experiences connect you to the corporate community, and prepare you for productive careers in a 21st century knowledge workforce. It may include the examination of case studies, simulations, guest panels and discussions, and field visits. Experiences outside the classroom take you into the community and the world of work and may include pairing you with business mentors, internships with corporate faculty, career development preparation, and applied projects directed by a member of the faculty. This approach allows you to apply what you have learned to projects in the world of work, explore your career and academic choices more specifically, and make connections with professionals and organizations within your field of study. It provides graduates with an “advantage” over their colleagues from institutions with more traditional models of learning.
