Career Shadowing

career shadowing
Job shadowing allows students to spend a half-day or entire day observing a professional on-the-job. Students observe meaningful work activity, the work culture of the organization and feel the flow of a typical workday.

Undergraduate Research

HPU welcomes freshman into a culture of scholarly research as soon as they arrive to campus. While other universities focus on senior research projects, HPU presents research opportunities to students throughout their four-year journey.

Service Learning

Service learning breaks down the walls of the traditional classroom and brings theoretical concepts to life. Through service learning courses, students are embedded with real-world opportunities that relate to course material. Whether it’s English majors tutoring refugee children in literacy, or strategic communication students producing marketing campaigns for nonprofit organizations, students gain valuable skills and strong connections to their community.
