Student Information

There’s a saying “Experience is the Best Education”. What if we told you that you can gain industry-accepted experience for no additional cost or time and while taking classes? The Rohrer College of Business Center for Experiential Learning (RCEL) provides students with the opportunity to gain resume-noted experience while accumulating credits towards your diploma. RCEL partners regional entrepreneurs, small/large businesses and non-profit organizations (the clients) with students in providing potential solutions to issues preventing that company from succeeding. This is a very unique opportunity for students to have an impact on an organizations success.
