Global Field Courses

Scroll

An exciting way for groups of students to see another country and experience its culture while earning credit is a Global Field Course. In a field course usually tied to your academic major, you will earn at least three credits while traveling with fellow students and one or more Eastern professors. Global Field Courses range in length from 1-5 weeks, with students applying their classroom learning in the field while enjoying the experience of another land.

Student Testimonials

Creative Writing

Francette Donato ’24

Francette was one of 17 students who traveled to Florence, Italy, for a six-week creative writing course in summer 2023. “This experience really taught me to be independent. I had never traveled before so anything outside of our initial travel was all new to me. Going with an Eastern group also introduced me to many cool people I might not have gotten to know before the trip.”

Natalie was one of 11 students who accompanied three biology professors on a 12-day trip in May 2023 to San Salvador Island in the Bahamas. “The trip was the most life-changing experience. I made friendships that will last forever and memories that will never fade. The professors made the trip amazing, and it was worth every penny. I wish I could do it over again!”
