Center for Experiential Education

Experiential education builds knowledge, develops skills, and clarifies values by engaging students in direct experience, community engagement, and focused reflection.

The Center for Experiential Education includes:

Service-Learning: Students in certain courses have the opportunity to volunteer at relevant non-profit organizations as part of the class.
Internships: Internships provide the opportunity to explore career options in a supervised work setting. Students can register for an internship course in one of Normandale’s departments. In the internship course students spend approximately 5-10 hours per week at an internship and complete assignments guided by an instructor. Students can earn 2-4 credits per semester.
Volunteering: We can provide you with recommendations of where to volunteer that matches your interests and goals.
Leadership Through Service: Students in this program are part of a supportive peer network of students that empowers them to positively impact their community on and off campus. Members volunteer about 30 hours over the course of the semester and get a scholarship of $500. Students must be first generation college students and/or have unmet financial need.
America Reads and Counts: America Reads and Counts is a program where Normandale students tutor Bloomington Public School children in reading, math, and after school homework help. Applications are accepted at the start of fall and spring semesters.
Campus Cupboard: The Campus Cupboard provides food and personal hygiene items for any Normandale student.
