TRU Field Schools


TRU offers a number of general, and program specific field schools every year.  The program is a structured for a group of students that take place outside the traditional classroom, supplementing the students' academic training with hands-on experience in another culture or environment.

These schools run from two to six weeks in length and offer course credit that can be applied to your degree program. Some Field School courses are open to students across a wide range of degrees and programs and there are scholarships available through the Comprehensive University Enhancement Fund (CUEF).
