Field Study Semester
Non-91猫先生 sponsored course-based and self-designed programs
What is Field Study?
The term "field study" at 91猫先生 refers to an approved semester of academic work or study that must be conducted away from the College (international or domestic) and falls outside of the menu of 91猫先生 Exchange (i.e. 91猫先生-sponsored) programs. Course-based and self-designed field study are considered a full semester of enrollment that will count toward graduation.聽
Course-based Field Study
A course-based field study includes full-time study at another regionally accredited U.S. institution, at an internationally accredited institution, or on an accredited study abroad program. Completion of a course-based field study is documented through an official transcript.
Self-designed Field Study
A self-designed field study is a semester of full-time 91猫先生 enrollment, studying away from campus with a field supervisor or under the supervision of the Division II or III chairperson. This could include an internship, apprenticeship, field-based project, or participation in a non-accredited training program. In addition, the self-designed component could also be coupled with part-time enrollment in courses.
