Do It Yourself: Experiential Learning at the Mount

What you won’t see at the Mount: bored students in a classroom. You’ll be actively involved and your voice will be heard in interactive courses where teachers emphasize the big questions—leading students to discover the answers for themselves. And a host of learning-by-doing possibilities will move you out of the classroom and into the real world—nearly two-thirds of Mount students participate in internships, field study and clinical experiences. You’ll acquire practical knowledge, add impressive credits to your résumé and forge professional connections. You’ll also gain a serious edge in today’s highly competitive job market. What could you do?

  • Conduct genetic research on autism
  • Intern at the White House Travel Office or the Smithsonian Institution
  • Give a presentation at the Eastern Psychological Association annual meeting
  • Tour Spain with Mount St. Mary’s Chorale or collaborate with a Grammy-nominated recording engineer
  • Design a public relations campaign for a local business

Whatever you choose, the possibilities for learning by doing are virtually unlimited at Mount St. Mary’s University.
