OSWEGO, NY (11/06/2009)(readMedia)-- Brittany P. Patterson of Green Street in Schuylerville is taking part in an internship this fall through SUNY Oswego's Experience-Based Education Program.

Patterson, a junior art major, interns at Fort Ontario, Oswego.

The Experience-Based Education Program at Oswego places students in internships and career awareness opportunities that allow them to earn college credits while garnering valuable real-life experience.

Last year, more than a thousand Oswego students took part in experiential learning while working at hundreds of businesses, nonprofit agencies and government offices, not counting the hundreds of student teachers working in area schools.

Admission to SUNY Oswego is competitive. The Princeton Review selected Oswego for its college guidebook "The Best Northeastern Colleges." A 148-year-old comprehensive college in the State University of New York system, Oswego enrolls over 8,300 students in its College of Liberal Arts and Sciences; School of Business; School of Communication, Media and the Arts; and School of Education.
