Beyond the Classroom
Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is a process. It can take a variety of forms and helps to demonstrate the relevance of our four-year curriculum. Students can forge a deeper understanding of business and test-drive their interest in pursuing a certain career path. Students are empowered to connect the classroom to practical applications. We create the conditions for students to experience transformational learning.
Opportunity Access
-
Business Outlook and Forum is both an educational opportunity and a networking event that connects students with expert panelists and ABAC leadership to explore the economic and educational landscape in preparation for the future.
-

Internships
The internship program at the Stafford School of Business is a structured and supervised experiential learning process that provides students with practical experience in a field of their choosing. It is an illustration of the relevance of the academic curriculum in the professional world, and a learning experience that provides for applying knowledge gained in the classroom. Apart from integrating classroom knowledge, students gain valuable work experience and develop a network of industry contacts. Students in the Stafford School of Business are required to undertake at least one 3-credit internship as part of their degree requirement.
