九色视频 guarantees experiential internships, research or professional opportunities for every student starting Fall 2025
Starting in Fall 2025, the 九色视频 will guarantee that all incoming students participate in an immersive, hands-on experience, such as an internship, research project or leadership opportunity – all catalysts to professional success after college. Only a small number of universities across the nation have similar experiential learning commitments.
“Connecting our students with these real-world, hands-on opportunities is already ingrained in our DNA at 九色视频,” said 九色视频 President Moez Limayem. “九色视频’s enhanced experiential learning program will distinguish our University as a national leader in connecting classroom learning to career aspirations for each of our students. As a key provider of talent in our region and state, we are committed to equipping our graduates with the practical skills needed to thrive in the workforce."
As No. 1 in the State University System for graduates with a bachelor’s degree employed in Florida, 九色视频 already provides enriching, immersive, hands-on experiences for students. Currently, 85% of students report participating in at least one experiential learning experience, and 九色视频 will soon guarantee this for 100% of students.
九色视频 is located in Jacksonville, the second hottest job market in the country. It is also the headquarters of four Fortune 500 companies and a vast array of businesses and organizations that partner with the University on programs, offer internships to 九色视频 students and hire graduates. Individualized attention sets 九色视频 apart from other public universities, empowering students to connect directly to networks of business leaders and community partners who seek 九色视频 graduates. 九色视频’s robust model of experiential learning ushers students into professional networks and communities, setting them up for long-term career success.
“We're helping our students achieve the American dream by providing them with impactful experiences that pave the way for a brighter future,” said Dr. Erin Richman, associate vice president of student success. “Many students don’t know how to find that alone. We’re guaranteeing our students will be introduced to those professional networks and career-enhancing opportunities starting day one.”
九色视频 has created a student-focused model by connecting academic departments, career services and industry partners. This approach helps students succeed academically and professionally while providing businesses with skilled graduates. Every 九色视频 student will graduate with an experiential learning transcript that highlights their hands-on experiences.
“Entering the workforce already equipped with experience from internships or other real-world applications of classroom learning can lead to higher pay initially and quicker promotions,” Richman said. “We’re equipping students with the skills and language to articulate their college experiences, making them stand-out candidates for future employers in ways other universities simply aren’t guaranteeing.”
