Fieldwork Opportunities

Does digging for evidence of past cultures pique your curiosity? Are you excited to travel to new places and meet new people? Are you ready to immerse yourself in a different culture? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then fieldwork or a field school may be perfect for you! Many students find these experiences to be an ideal complement to classroom learning – an opportunity to learn by doing and apply lessons from the classroom to real-world experiences. Ask our faculty about opportunities to participate in their fieldwork for course credit at a field site in one of the countries listed below.
