Experiential Learning
At Roger Williams University, we understand that an education today needs to be experiential, linking classroom-based theory with practical learning experiences for students across all majors. It’s why we believe and encourage our students to take part in the many Experiential Learning opportunities we offer.
Through Experiential Learning, RWU students learn by doing – becoming practitioners, researchers, and more in the RWU and local community. The hands-on, project-based experiences they set out allow students to connect the ideas they encounter in the classroom with situations in the real world. As a result, it gives our graduates an immediate competitive advantage over others and inevitably leads to a successful life and career.
The RWU Internship Experience
The RWU Internship Experience allows our students to explore different career paths, gain valuable professional experience, join research projects, and prepare to be career-ready upon graduation. RWU offers internships as part of the powerful combinations of joining your classroom studies with hands-on experience in industry, community, and research facilities.
Experiential Opportunities
At Roger Williams, we continually invest in innovative programs to provide transformational educational experiences that prepare students to be lifelong learners, professionals, and global citizens. Whether out in the local community, working on interdisciplinary projects or a pro bono law case, completing a customized internship locally or abroad, or conducting important research with a professor, students solve problems creatively at RWU. They learn to communicate effectively and think critically.
