Field School Info session for Academic Deans and Staff

Join Concordia International for an information session about Concordia faculty-led field schools, how to develop your own and how Concordia International can help you.

Field schools are typically either a faculty-led course taught abroad (normally during the summer term) or a summer school offered by a Concordia partner university abroad.  For both, experiential learning plays an important role by providing both teaching and a learning-experience abroad related to course contents.  While several models and examples of field schools at Concordia exist, they typically match one of the following examples:

•  A Concordia course taught by a Concordia faculty member abroad.
•  Courses taken for transfer credit at a partner university’s summer school.
•  Courses taught at a host institution with a Concordia professor’s supervision.
•  Non-credited workshops/activities abroad led by a Concordia professor.

Field schools programs mobilize students, and offer experiential, transformative learning experiences within the structure of a Concordia course.
