ENGAGED STUDENTS
Western New England College students benefit not only from a plethora of activities on campus, but also from the wide range of activities offered in local Springfield…
Student Learning is Our Focus
For many students at Western New England College, study abroad is a passport to a world of remarkable opportunity. Beyond classes in international settings, students can also intern with the BBC in London; study art in Florence, Italy; or get a close-up look at business in Australia. Students have spent the semester or year in Australia, China, England, Finland, Ireland, Italy, and Spain.
The college also offers select courses abroad, including London through the Ages. Through the Sophomore Experience Abroad program, business students can spend the fall semester at London’s Richmond University for the same cost (including airfare) as living on campus. Most classes are taught by our own business faculty.
The college’s Learning Beyond the Classroom program helps students discover learning opportunities all around them. Combining in-class study with out-of-the-classroom activities from community service to mentoring, the program gives students hundreds of ways to gain new and valuable life experience. Subsequent opportunities to reflect on the service activity help students draw important lessons from their involvement as it relates to their academic work.
The college has relationships with more than 1,100 sponsoring organizations at which students perform fieldwork, research engineering design projects, student-teach, or serve as interns.
