Work-Based Learning

Attention Employed Students!

Are you employed? If so, how many hours a week do you currently work? Does your job or any of your duties relate to your program of study? Do you struggle with setting aside time for traditional classes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need to consider using your job to earn academic credit through Work-Based Learning (WBL).

Work-Based Learning classes are offered under most major electives in most programs of study. Check out your program to see if there are WBL opportunities offered.

If interested, please complete the online application and speak with a WBL Internship Developer for additional information. You will not need to work any additional hours. It’s a no brainer! Earn credit for doing what you’re already doing! Below are our WBL course offerings:
