EXCEL: Experiential Courses and Engaged Learning

Internships and Co-ops

Internships and Co-ops are a great way to learn outside of the classroom and earn academic credit. Whether it's for a semester-long internship or a 6-month co-op, these experiences will help boost your resume and expand your professional network. Most importantly, they give you the opportunity to explore different career options, gain real-world experience, and build confidence.

EXCEL Coordinated Programs

EXCEL sponsors two full-year, school-based programs that provide positive role models for children, including academic or social support during critical periods of transition and development.  Focus Forward  matches college students with adolescents in surrounding school districts to help middle and high-school students learn about goal setting, perseverance, and social transitions.  The Oswego Children’s Project  provides students interested in areas of counseling and social sciences an opportunity to learn about the theory and implementation of child-centered non-directive play techniques in an elementary school to promote connectedness, self-esteem, and resilience.
