Sarah Varner spends her days interning at the Walter H. Beech Wind Tunnel at Wichita State. For an aerospace engineering major, that time is one example of how the university’s applied learning opportunities are vital to starting a career.
“Wichita State is unique in how many excellent opportunities engineering students have to get experience working while they pursue their degree,” she said. “It’s helpful to get relevant experience on one’s resume while in college.”
Every degree at WSU offers applied learning or research opportunities. The salary Varner earns helps her navigate studies, work and financial necessities.
