Field Schools
Field Schools are kind of an extended field trip. They involve the off-campus delivery of SFU courses for a group of 10 to 20 students, directed by an SFU instructor. You’ll undertake a combination of coursework, assignments and field studies relevant to the location.
On-Campus Opportunities
Gain a global perspective, while still on campus. A typical on campus opportunity would be a semester-long cohort program, with students from multiple partner schools coming together to study a common topic.
