Experiential education extends a student’s academic experience beyond both the walls of a classroom and a student’s major requirements and allows a student to put their knowledge into practice, testing and refining ideas through diverse experiences. Career development skills gained through experiential education inform and enhance classroom learning. Additionally, participating in experiential education will make a student a more competitive applicant for graduate school and job opportunities after graduation.
This event will showcase possible experiences that may be available to students in the 2026-2027 academic year including:
Teaching assistants.
