International Field Studies

From camping on beaches in Peru, to trekking through coffee fields in the mountains of the Dominican Republic, to the board rooms of international businesses in Ireland, to learning in a 900-year-old brewery cellar in Germany, and community clinics in India, Ecuador, and Guatemala. These unique 7-12 day faculty and staff led experiences are available during term break weeks. Use your break week to learn AND earn course credit outside the walls of your classroom during these adventures abroad created by NC for NC students!

Ready for the Be World Ready Course?

The Be World Ready course is mandatory for those attending an International Field Study. Students should expect to take part in synchronous hybrid classes (some classes are in-person, some are virtual). Similar to other college courses, it involves assignments and activities, some of which you will need to do while you’re away so that you have all the information you need to complete the assignments when you return. There are no additional fees associated with being enrolled in this course. Students who do not successfully complete the course risk not meeting the grant requirements. Learn more about the Be World Ready course and review our FAQ’s!
