Study Away
We have some terrific opportunities off campus, through our May term courses, RC semesters abroad, and solo study away options.

Senior Practicum
All of our majors get hands-on learning through the senior practicum, in which students solve a real-world problem for community stakeholders. See what our seniors have done recently.

Extra Learning
We’ve had students who were trained by the Roanoke Valley Master Naturalists; who got National Stormwater Certified; and who were certified for sustainability. Faculty are here to support your learning in a variety of ways!
