Register for upcoming Bridge Experience Program information sessions
From: Academy of Experiential Learning
Applications are now available for the next cohort of the Bridge Experience Program. Academic programs in the Bridge Experience Program work with the Academy for Experiential Learning to implement an undergraduate experiential learning requirement as part of Virginia Tech’s strategic plan and Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP).
Bridge experiences support students’ career exploration and enable them to apply academic learning in a real-world setting. Potential Bridge opportunities include undergraduate research, internships, service learning, study abroad, or other site-based experiences matching student post-graduation goals and approved by departmental faculty.
The application deadline for programs starting in Summer 2025 is March 14.
