Learn, Work, and Serve
Customize Your Semester
RWU has designed a series of options for students that are seeking something a little different than the traditional classroom experience.
We're putting learners in control – how you learn and where you learn – with the right blend of in-person, online, and experience-based learning that meets your goals, budget and safety concerns.
Our Learn, Work, and Serve opportunities provide ways to earn credit, whether on campus or remote. You can decide the best way to engage.
No matter what your current circumstances are, your education can continue with RWU.
You determine where you want to learn: Live at RWU or join us remotely.
Gain experience and credit through an internship, or design your semester around your work schedule.
You can volunteer, do research toward a solution, or project-based work in your community.
