At UM, we recognize the significant financial investment involved in a college education, and one of our primary goals is to help students achieve a robust return on that investment — otherwise known as Return on Education.

Experiential Learning and Career Success assists students in taking a proactive role in planning the course of their college careers, through a thoughtful process of setting realistic academic and career goals, participating in out-of-classroom activities, and being involved in experiential opportunities. Students who take a hands-on approach in seeking out activities connected to their academic degrees and career goals will achieve greater success and personal satisfaction post-graduation.
