CAS Experiential Learning Fund

Professor guiding students on a nature hike.

This fund gives students the priceless ability to build and refine their skills in real-world environments.

In the College of Arts and Sciences, experiential learning encompasses a broad variety of experiences, including research, internships, mentorships, fellowships and workshops. These unique hands-on learning experiences empower students to discover new passions, apply their knowledge and make a difference in society.

Through experiential learning, students prepare for successful careers and gain a distinct advantage that will serve them throughout their lives. In fact, experiential learning is one of the most effective, engaging ways for students to enhance their education and build upon the exceptional quality of our classroom education.

In addition, experiential learning often embeds UB students within the community, further strengthening our ties while allowing students the chance to give back.
