Your classroom learning also will be complemented by a range of practical learning experiences including:

• A required 10-week, full time, summer internship
• The Sloan Colloquium
• Annual intersession field trips
• Practitioner-Led Intensive Courses (PLICs)
• Capstone course
• Professional development workshops
