Internships
What is experiential learning? Think internships and you're off to a good start. Experiential
learning is a process through which students develop knowledge, skills,
and values from direct experiences outside a traditional academic
setting.
Internships and Beyond
The place to be for all these opportunities at CU Denver is the Experiential Learning Center (ELC) in LynxConnect. We bring classroom learning together with real-life experiences and serve as the primary campus resource to coordinate every step along the way.
Working with students, professors, employers, and community partners, the ELC provides academic and not-for-credit internship opportunities, promotes
undergraduate research experiences, and provides professional development
opportunities.
