The 2-credit course is offered in the Spring semester and integrates a week-long overseas field study during spring break as part of the curriculum. Applications in September are required for enrollment, and a travel fee is required in addition to course tuition. Students must have a valid passport prior to Thanksgiving and be in good academic and disciplinary standing.

Field study travel typically occurs in the middle or at the end of the course.
