Service Learning/Volunteerism:

Service Learning/Volunteerism combines academic study in a variety of fields with community involvement in non-profit organizations.

Opportunities for Practical Training:

Most certificate and degree programs longer than 9 months provide opportunities for students to receive special permission for practical training, which allows them to work off-campus in paid internships related to their field of study. Depending on the major, students may apply for permission to work for up to one year after completing their academic program (click here for more information on Practical Training).
