Work experience courses are challenging work opportunities related to your major or intended career requiring you to reflect and integrate your college learning in the professional world.
The skills students develop through work experience are significant and often provide an advantage in their career field. A quality work experience focuses on the critical skills new professionals need to compete in the workplace such as problem solving, critical thinking, cooperation, and leadership. Work experience opportunities may vary between career fields and employers. Internships may be paid or unpaid, part-time or full-time, and completed during approved semester(s).
