Experiential Learning

As a student in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, opportunities abound to gain real-world experience beyond the classroom. Learn about the many ways you can strengthen your learning and pursue your passions through research, internships, service-learning, and global experiences.

These experiences can also provide opportunities to complete credit requirements either during the academic year or over the summer. This page is intended to be a starting point to help you navigate and explore experiential learning opportunities in CALS.
