Experiential Learning

Learn By Doing, Going, and Living

Fairfield University’s mission of educating the whole person requires a commitment to placing you, the student, in environments where practical experience aids in your development.

From active participation in academic and scientific research projects to internship and professional placements, study abroad and travel stipend programs to intensive coursework focused on real-world application, Fairfield is here to make sure your educational experience prepares you for life experience.

One of the remarkable aspects of the capstone projects is that our students are working with real data from the companies we partner with, to give them opportunities to assess existing or collected quantitative and qualitative data. These valuable experiential learning opportunities translate to students building their professional networks and interviewing for jobs.
