Beyond the Classroom
Experiential Learning
Our programs offer lots of opportunities for you to enrich your education, both inside and outside of class.
Explore diversity among people, cultures, and geographic locations first-hand on education abroad trips. We offer summer, semester and year-long opportunities to a variety of locations across the world.
Out-of-class learning experiences are highly encouraged here. Our students undertake independent research, publish their work, and present at conferences.
Our department hosts the Association of Childhood Educators.
Our students get real job experience with internships and field studies at schools, community services agencies, non-profit organizations, research centers, and occupational and physical therapy practices. A human development degree translates to many different job titles, with skills that are valuable in any field. We have dedicated career advising and tips for applying your skills to a career that's rewarding and right for you.
