About Us

Mission

The University of Central Florida (UCF) Experiential Learning (EL) mission is to develop and sustain quality experiential learning opportunities through an environment that promotes collaboration between students, faculty, community and employer partners. In doing so, we support students as they make theory to practice connections that enhance their academic learning and facilitate the development of skills and abilities necessary to contribute to the global community.

Vision

With the support of our partners on campus and in the community, we endeavor to facilitate transformative, academic learning opportunities that support students’ growth as professionals. In collaboration with a group of stakeholders, we seek to give students access to high-quality internships, co-ops and service-learning experiences. Through these opportunities we will grow our collective expertise and continue to position UCF as a leader in the global community.
