Student Opportunities
Experiential learning creates opportunities for you to “learn by doing” and takes your learning off the page and into practice. Employing Humanities empowers you to participate in paid or for-credit experiences like internships, undergraduate research, and service learning courses that explore the humanities in action and develop career-ready skills to prepare you for life beyond graduation.
