Always include your Bronc ID in all correspondence.

Both on and off-campus, you will find countless opportunities to participate in the six categories of engaged learning. Experiences earn points based upon the hours of time you spend in the activity. You will earn points as follows:

  • 1 point for every 20 - 49 hours completed 
  • 2 points for up to 99 hours completed
  • 3 points for 100 or more hours completed

Experience hours completed must be performed while you are an active, currently enrolled student in your first term or later. Hours served before your first term or while you do not have Active status are not eligible to earn points.  You must spend a minimum of 20 hours in any experience in order to earn 1 point.

Enriched Career Experience: An Investment in You!

Some experiences immerse you in work related to your chosen career path or enhance your resume for graduate school. These experiences make up the Enriched Career Experience, and will earn engaged learning points in one of the following categories:

  • Arts, Media or Creativity
  • Internship, Co-ops or Fieldwork
  • Leadership and Mentoring

An experience in one of these three areas is high-impact and provides you with the best opportunity to put the skills you have learned to good use and will give you hands-on, in-depth experience.  

So, invest in yourself! For more information about the Enriched Career Experience visit the Career Development and Success website or contact the Career Coach for your college or school through Handshake.
