Practical Training, Internships and Experiential Learning Opportunities

At Pomona College, we consider experiential learning opportunities to be a valuable part of a liberal arts curriculum and students’ educational experiences. The application of practical skills is an integral part of this process. Internships and other practical training opportunities such as the Pomona College Internship Program (PCIP) and Curricular Practical Training (CPT) are among the ways in which students apply their liberal arts education to the workplace: to develop skills and competencies supportive of their major area(s) of study; to develop better understandings of specific career fields and work environments related to their fields of study; and to make meaningful contributions within approved organizations and workplaces.
