The Division of Professional Practice at the University of Cincinnati is leading the way in experiential learning.

The Division leads the Cooperative Education Program, which for over 100 years has provided students with the opportunity to alternate full-time terms of school and work to provide them with a solid base of experience and professional development.

In 2010, the Division launched the Academic Internship Program, which provides access to opportunities for part time internships to all UC students.

The Center for Cooperative Education Research and Innovation seeks to drive the development and implementation of cooperative education at UC as well as serve as an incubator  for research and new thinking about approaches to experiential education.

In 2011, a Center for Service Learning and Civic Engagement was established at UC and was charged with supporting campus-community connections as articulated within the goals of UC2019► and the Integrated Core Learning Initiative.
