Real World Experience

Internships

Internships place students in legal, cultural and publishing venues under the supervision of professionals, making it one of the best preparations for law, business, and other professions.  Students may also have opportunities to earn course credit as peer mentors and as peer tutors.  Majors may apply for paid positions as peer tutors in Language House, a language arts tutoring center administered by the English Department.

Study Abroad

There are opportunities for study and travel in Europe, Asia, Puerto Rico and South Africa along with scholarship assistance.  For complete information about the Study Abroad opportunities available to students of the college, click here.
