Field Work
Sponsored by departments for ungraded credit, field work is an academic program that places students in a variety of internships in Poughkeepsie, the mid-Hudson region, New York City, and elsewhere. It provides opportunities for observation and for participation that are not ordinarily available in class work. Every student electing field work is supervised by a faculty member who helps the student to integrate experience with theory. Students must take a pre- or co-requisite course in the sponsoring department. Internships during the summer may also be eligible for academic credit.
