Field Schools

2009 Field Schools

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has long recognized that learning must be applied beyond the classroom, in the field. Theory becomes practice when our students travel to archeological, geological, or cultural sites that span the globe. In cooperation with the Division of International Programs, and the Departments of Anthropology, English, Geological and Environmental Sciences, and Sociology, NIU students have joined their professors on research adventures in Italy, Hawaii, Africa, Southeast Asia, and the American West.
