Courses for Students
Overview
Traveling to a foreign country, meeting new people and learning about different cultures will open up a whole new world to you. Eastern Washington University can help you make the most of your experience.
Working closely with educational travel program directors, Eastern Washington University's International Field Studies program has developed a series of courses designed to complement and enhance the travel experience.
Field Study Objectives
- Enhance student understanding of foreign people and places
- Teach students to develop confidence in themselves as world observers
- Encourage students to gain an appreciation of higher education as an important partner in achieving future goals
- Provide students with an academic transcript containing college-level courses to help set themselves apart in today's highly competitive university admissions process
You can register at any time, however, it is best to register ten (10) or more days before departure. EWU operates on the quarter system. The courses are resident quarter credits. To convert the quarter hours to semester hours, multiply the quarter hours by two-thirds (2/3) to equal the semester hours.
