Experiential Learning

University of South Carolina students can gain hands-on experience with the world’s largest and most valuable consumer brand through part-time job opportunities and structured, semester-long internships. Gamecock iHub is operated by University of South Carolina students, under the leadership of faculty and staff members from the university’s Department of Retailing. It is the first Apple Authorized Campus Store in the region and only the second in the nation to incorporate a classroom component into its business model. More information about internships through the Department of Retailing is available on its webpage.
