Professional development learning opportunities will enhance your knowledge, skills and values through activities outside the traditional academic setting, including internships, externships, visits to businesses, job-shadowing executives and co-curricular programs that offer leadership and professional development experiences. We work closely with alumni, employers and community partners to ensure that you’ll have access to well-planned, supervised and assessed experiential learning programs that will reinforce the concepts you’re learning in the classroom while giving you a competitive edge in the job market. You’ll also gain unique networking opportunities through experiential learning.
