The Hamline Academic Experience
2. Skills-based minors to make you more competitive
A skill-based minor complements any major and gives you more opportunities to enhance your education—helping you stand out in your field. Examples include:
- Applied psychology minor
- Business practice minor
- Data visualization minor
- Digital storytelling minor
- Ethics and advocacy minor
- Forensic and investigative science minor
- Leadership minor
3. Hands-on experiential learning built into everything
While at other universities, students have to wait until their senior year or even graduate school before they can participate in educational and practical experience opportunities in their field, at Hamline, you have the opportunity from day one. These opportunities can help you stand out when applying for jobs after graduation.
Paid internships
As a Piper, you will complete at least one paid internship in your field. Hamline offers many connections to industry leaders within Minneapolis-Saint Paul and beyond. To help you land your ideal internship, our Career Development Center staff will work with you to create an effective resume and help you prepare for job interviews.
Research opportunities
All Pipers have the opportunity to work side-by-side with their faculty mentor on at least one research or engaged-learning project. You may work on a research project faculty already have in progress or you can develop your own project.
Real-world experiences
At Hamline, every Piper participates in a hands-on, experience-driven education to provide you with real-world skills that employers in your field will value. For example, you may take courses with embedded research experiences or courses with community-engagement built into your learning.
