Intro

Blugolds know that some of the most important learning can take place outside of classrooms, during those golden opportunities to apply knowledge to the world around us and see real impact. 

Luckily, these kinds of experiences are abundant here. 

With opportunities to get involved in faculty-supported research, study abroad, internships, cultural immersion and service-learning, your world will expand the moment you step onto campus.
