A central part of the Institute’s mission is to provide you with experiential, hands-on learning as part of your studies.
Unlike classroom-based graduate programs, our experiential learning approach allows you to apply practical skills in your field of study before you graduate. Not only do you gain professional experience, but you are exposed to relevant networking opportunities that often lead to jobs after graduation.
Find out more about some of the experiential learning and study abroad options available.
You can also view a selection of past experiential learning projects posted by students. Many of the opportunities are eligible for funding.
