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.

Experiential learning encompasses a variety of activities including internships, service learning, undergraduate research, study abroad, and other creative and professional work experiences.
