Learning about theories, concepts, and formulas in the classroom is just the first step of your journey at TWU. Bridging classroom learning with "real world" experiences allow you to apply what you have learned. This direct experience and reflection best describes experiential learning.

Internships are a form of experiential learning and also includes practicums, fellowships, service-learning projects, academic research, cooperative education, job shadowing, education abroad, etc.
