Transformative Education, Real-World Impact

At The College of Wooster, learning isn't just about what happens in the classroom. Through our Experiential Learning (EL) program, you’ll dive into hands-on experiences that connect you with opportunities both in our community and around the world.

Want to add real-world experience to what you’re studying? With a wide range of EL options like internships for college credit, funded fellowships, team consulting with mentors, study programs off-campus, and special EL-credentialed courses, Wooster helps you turn your interests into action.
