Korea Field School

The Seoul field school is a research-based study abroad program located in the heart of Seoul. All majors are welcome. At the center of the field school experience is the opportunity to conduct first-hand mentored research on Korean culture in Seoul, South Korea. Students will pursue their own research projects under the supervision of the field school director. This is an excellent opportunity to conduct research for a capstone project in any major and to learn about and demonstrate competence in first-hand research. Students will receive support and training in ethnographic and qualitative research methods. Students will also register for a course on Korean culture and history.

During the field school, students will have the option of living with a South Korean family or in an apartment. Students will also have opportunities to take part in various cultural activities such as a Buddhist meditation retreat in historic Gyeongju and a trip to Jeju Island (if possible), as well as guided walking tours of historical sites, palaces, and museums.
