Undergraduate Summer Experiences
Human Ecology students engage in varied experiential learning opportunities including community service, internships, externships, part-time/full-time work, and research to test their career interests and see the impacts of a Human Ecology education in real time. All while also fitting in time to rejuvenate and spend time with the people that matter in their lives!
