Experiential Learning

The best way to learn is to fully immerse yourself in the experience. We offer students immersive internships and service-learning opportunities to gain clarity around their goals.

Service and Service Learning

We provide students with opportunities to serve their community, to enhance their educational experience, and to develop habits that encourage a lifelong commitment to service.

Sean Murray

I think one of the most impactful things about being a Doane student is how much we care about our peers and everyone in general. People at Doane are always looking out for each other trying to help and see everyone succeed. I like how that chain of you being helped and you helping someone else continues throughout campus.
