A Puget Sound education isn’t something you get, it’s something you do. Throughout your academic journey, you’ll put concepts into practice with hands-on, high-impact, experiential learning opportunities that challenge you to apply what you’ve learned in the classroom to the real world. Whether you choose to study abroad, conduct undergraduate research, seek out an internship, put your skills to use serving the community, or prepare for a career after graduation, you’ll explore your interests and set yourself up for success beyond college.
See the world as part of a study abroad experience. In our international programs, you’ll gain a greater understanding of other cultures, make lifelong friendships, and improve your critical thinking skills.
Dive deep into your field with a summer research project. At Puget Sound, undergraduates receive funding to do real research, working closely with a faculty mentor to develop as artists, scholars, and scientists.
Gain valuable work experience. With a internship, you can make a difference in the community and connect your liberal arts education to a future career.
Give back and enrich your educational experience with community-based learning opportunities. At Puget Sound, you can volunteer with more than 250 organizations in the Tacoma area.
Explore courses that prepare students to actively and intentionally engage in career-related experiences. Whether you’re exploring your career interests or ready to apply for a competitive internship, we have opportunities for students to take their next step.
Prepare for a fulfilling career after graduation. Our advisors can help you research careers, craft resumes and cover letters, network with alumni, and equip you to land a job or internship.
