TRU Field Schools


TRU offers a number of general and program specific Field Schools every year.  A Field School is a TRU course, led by a TRU academic, that takes a group of students to another country for study as a group.  Because Field Schools  take place outside the traditional classroom, they supplement  a student's academic training with hands-on experience in another culture or environment.

Field Schools normally 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.  Most Field Schools operate during May through August.

There are CUEF financial awards available that are provided automatically once you are accepted as a student in a Field School.  The award is normally $500 per student.
