Experience-based Education

Outside the Classroom

Internships allow you to gain real-world experience while building your portfolio.

The required capstone project lets you create a portfolio that will give you a distinct advantage when you enter the job market.

Student-led publications like the Phoenix Magazine and the Bell Ringer student newspaper give you the chance to write, edit, photograph, design and provide video content for respected campus publications. And since some of the staff positions are paid, you can even earn money while you gain experience.
