Take your education outside the classroom! Studying abroad is an excellent way to expand your mind and your education. We encourage students to explore their study abroad options and even offer stipends to eligible students.
My favorite experience has been my senior year field placement. This experience has allowed me to really grow and expand my learning. I have been able to connect with clients and apply everything that I have learned in the classroom. Although we learn so much in the classroom, this was a great experience to really put what we learned into action. I feel as if I am completely comfortable to lead more because of everything that I learned from my professors in class.
