For your convenience, UMGC coordinates the hotel and excursion arrangements for a field study fee of $350 per student per field study course. This fee will be charged to your student account and covers three nights of lodging (double occupancy room), as well as local transportation costs and entry to all excursions.
The $350 fee does not include travel to and from the city where the course is held. Students must make their own travel arrangements to the course.

You may register for the 3 credit field study course with your local program coordinator or online at MyUMGC. Tuition assistance or financial aid can be applied toward tuition costs.

A field study course packs all of the 48 contact-hours of other courses into adventure-filled days on location, so you can earn one to three credits at an accelerated pace. In addition, rather than taking place in an education center, a field study course takes place in a historical European city where the subject being studied has its roots. You will visit historical sites and museums as well as participate in lectures that bring it all together for a one-of-a-kind learning experience.
