Academic Opportunities
Marshall Students are able to engage in academic opportunities offered through the college and across the university. At Marshall, students can develop early connections with faculty, staff and resources by enrolling in a First Year or Transfer Year Experience course. They can learn more about the college’s mission and philosophy by enrolling in one of the many courses that Marshall has to offer. Students can also enhance their academic experience by seeking challenges and opportunities for growth through the TMC Honors Program and/or Studying Abroad.
These opportunities as well as the campus programs listed below present a unique way for students to become more engaged both inside and outside of the classroom.

Academic Internship Program
The Academic Internship Program offers students the opportunity to apply academic theory and research to address challenges and issues in the real world while earning academic credit.
Student internships are available in a variety of settings: a political office in Washington, D.C., a conservation group in San Francisco, a medical laboratory in San Diego, or any number of other possibilities.
Partners at Learning Program
The Partners at Learning Program allows students to participate in public service for academic credit through EDS 130, 131, 133, 135, 136, 137, 145 and 146 each taken with the co-requisite EDS 139 with the exception of 135, which is six units.
