McDaniel College students participated in internships during Fall Semester

Several McDaniel College students participated in internships during the college’s Fall semester.

Internships and other experiential learning opportunities, such as study abroad, student-faculty research, and independent study, are key elements of the My Experience component of the the college's signature McDaniel Commitment.

The McDaniel Commitment is a guarantee for all students during their time at McDaniel and is supported by the Center for Experience and Opportunity, McDaniel's one-stop shop that focuses on experiential learning and career development.

Through the McDaniel Commitment, a team of mentors helps students construct and tailor their personal educational path. The McDaniel Commitment is comprised of four components that are embedded within the college's general education curriculum: My Place, My Design, My Experience, and My Career.
