When you’re living, learning and playing at Seattle University, a day-in-the-life presents the opportunities of a lifetime. Being in the city and region of world-class companies—from tech to aerospace, arts to health care—means opportunities abound for students who want on-the-job-training through internships and networking.
At SU, four out of five students engage in service learning—more than 3x the national average—a skill that 81% of HR executives say makes a college grad more desirable. Learn more about serving local at SU’s Center for Community Engagement.
SU students can study, serve or intern abroad each year while earning credit toward their degrees, many on programs directly sponsored by Seattle University. During the 2016-17 academic year, more than 500 students participated in education abroad.
