What is a field school?

 

A field school is 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.

Information on establishing a faculty-led field school can be found on the Concordia International our Establishing a Faculty-Led Field School website.
