What are you doing in summer 2015?
We’re planning field schools in Italy, the Philippines, Switzerland and Wales, and you’re invited!
Field schools are seven weeks with the last two to three weeks spent abroad. Programs usually take place from April to July. Courses are taught by Douglas instructors.
Virtually all field school courses are university transferable.
To be eligible, you must be:
- a Douglas College student eligible to take the courses offered in the field school. Qualified students from other institutions are welcome to apply but must first gain admission to Douglas College.
- 18 years of age or older prior to departure
- in good academic standing with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 by application deadline. If you do not meet this requirement, you can only attend a field school with the approval of the program’s lead faculty member.
- a passport holder or able to obtain a passport
Fees
$2,400-$3,800 per student, depending on the program. Includes airport transfers overseas, use of facilities at the partner institution, tuition for any courses taught by partner institutions, program field trips, shared accommodations, and some meals (depending on the program).
Airfare, passport application costs, fees for Douglas College courses, travel medical insurance, airport transfers in Vancouver, textbooks and personal spending are extra.
