Just about every college is talking about experiential education. That’s because it works. At Johnson & Wales University, we’ve been perfecting this approach — taking skills beyond the classroom — for more than 100 years.
At JWU, experience is the difference. Here, you’ll both think and do. Because learning-by-doing is one of the most effective and high-impact ways to learn. Experiential learning is woven into all aspects of our education, in and out of the classroom.
You won’t just learn theory — you’ll turn it into practice. Work on real world projects in class, in our industry-specific learning labs, and with leading companies.
Internships are a core part of the JWU experience, and are a crucial way for you to gain experience and make lasting career connections in your chosen field.
Beyond the classroom, you can explore a huge array of opportunities to help you develop both personally and professionally. Get involved with any of our professional student organizations, and compete against other colleges regionally and nationally. Plan big, on-campus social events. Volunteer with companies and at events related to your field of study. Participate in our award-winning community service programs.
The result? Build a great résumé — and a successful personal life — before you graduate. Build a life at JWU.
