USCB Specializes in Hands-On Learning
At USCB, students don’t just study concepts—they live them. Through experiential learning,
USCB students in all disciplines build skills and confidence to thrive in their careers
and communities.
Experiential Learning Opportunities Include:
- Makerspace
A creative, cross-disciplinary workspace equipped with 3D printers, laser cutters, and design tools. Students bring their ideas to life through prototyping, fabrication, and collaboration. - Teaching Greenhouse
Future science teachers raise seedlings for classroom use, and students grow tree saplings for USCB's campus tree-planting events. The greenhouse supports hands-on learning in biology, sustainability, and education. - Living Laboratory Nature Trail
Located on the Bluffton campus, this trail follows a historic railroad bed and offers an immersive setting for studying ecology, biodiversity, and conservation through fieldwork and direct observation. - Nursing Simulation Centers
On both the Bluffton and Beaufort campuses, high-fidelity mannequins and realistic clinical scenarios give nursing students a safe environment to practice procedures and build confidence before entering clinical settings. - Internships
Students in every major are encouraged to pursue internships, and USCB faculty work actively to connect students with opportunities that match their academic and career goals.
