Hampshire College

Hampshire offers a number of Short-Term Field Courses each year that vary in location, level, and academic content.  These courses are designed and led by current Hampshire faculty, and offer students the opportunity for off-campus study and research either elsewhere in the U.S. or abroad.  Field courses are generally 1-4 weeks in length, and they vary each year.  Previous field courses may or may not repeat in future years.

Eligibility
Short-term Field Courses are open to all Hampshire and Five College students in good academic standing and who qualify for specific course prerequisites. Hampshire students interested in general information regarding January Term should visit January Term Program. Five College students are reminded that they are subject to each individual institution’s policies. If you are a Five College student interested in applying to a January Term Field Course, please see Five College Participation for more information about eligibility.  If you are a Five College student interested in applying to a May Term/Summer program, please contact the Global Education Office prior to applying.

How to Apply
Each Short-Term Field Course has its own application instructions, deadlines, and prerequisites that are listed on each course's Web page.  Please select the term for which you are applying in the navigation at left, then select the field course you're interested in.  Field courses listed under Previous Short-Term Field Courses are not available during the current academic year.

Financial Aid
Financial aid is available for eligible Hampshire College students participating in any of these Short-Term Field Courses. This aid will offset a portion of the program cost (not including airfare) depending on a student's financial aid package from Hampshire.  Students who plan on applying for financial aid should turn in a Short-Term Field Course Financial Aid Application along with their application to the course.
