Chart Your Own TRAIL
Experiential learning is a defining feature of a COLSA education. COLSA students connect classroom learning with hands-on experiences such as research, internships, fieldwork, global learning, and community partnerships—building practical skills, confidence, and professional networks along the way.
The TRAIL Network is COLSA’s centralized hub for hands-on, real-world learning. Explore how COLSA helps every student chart their own TRAIL through meaningful, real-world learning experiences.
