Field Study

How do Field Study courses apply to your degree program?

ENGL Field Study courses meet Arts and Humanities General Education Requirements or elective credit requirements. They can also be applied toward credit requirements of the Primary Area of Specialization in ENGL and, in some cases, HIST Bachelor of Arts degrees. For major degree programs, they apply to Arts and Humanities General Education, the Major/minor in Humanities, and Elective credit requirements. They will not meet the intensive upper-level writing requirement for either the Specializations or Majors.

ARTH Field Study courses can be generally used to meet the Historical Context Cross-Curricular course requirement for Specializations and Majors. Although they may be applicable toward the International Perspective Cross-Curricular requirement for a Primary Area of Specialization under an earlier curriculum, they may not be used to meet this requirement under Major programs. ARTH Field Study courses can be used to meet Humanities major requirements (Music, Art and Theatre), Arts and Humanities General Education and Elective credit requirements.

Students should always check with an Academic Advisor before enrolling to determine the application toward the degree they are pursuing.
