Experiential learning is a focus of our department and we accomplish this through a variety of programs. We want students to transfer their knowledge from the classroom to “real” situations. Explore these exciting programs. For motivated students, there is an opportunity to conduct Honors Research in their final year, and graduate with Honors upon the successful completion of their research.
