Applied Study Term
AST: An undergraduate experiential learning
opportunity.
The Applied Study and Experiential Learning Term is an individualized field experience for students.
Approved and supervised by university faculty, AST can take the form of internships, projects, travel or study abroad.
Our connection to state agencies, not-for-profit organizations, and area businesses provide UIS students with opportunities to apply theory, expand knowledge, determine additional learning needs, explore careers, and develop an awareness and appreciation of diversity.
The majority of these internships are paid. More than a quarter of these placements result in job offers for either part-time or full-time employment.
