The Jamaican Fieldschool, offered every Spring Semester, provides students the opportunity to do ethnographic research in another culture and become aware of the personal, practical, and analytical issues involved in fieldwork. Instruction in most programs is in English, but through ISEP, students with advanced foreign language abilities are able to choose from eighty study sites in Africa, Europe, Latin America, and Asia. Semester and year options are available, and costs are kept low as a result of reciprocal exchanges. Summer programs are a popular option for students seeking short-term international experiences. The center works in coordination with the various colleges to develop discipline-specific field studies and special tours in all price ranges that appeal to students in all majors.
Students receive course credit for most programs, and financial aid is applicable.
Programs range in focus from ethnographic studies British Columbia, student teaching in England, business in Turkey or England, to architecture and urban planning in Germany and Italy.
