Experimental Cities: New York City Field Studies
Enhance your current research by traveling to New York City with a small group of your peers to conduct research over spring break. Students complete this week-long field studies program as part of a semester-long research project, using the extraordinary resources of New York City to complement their research. In this program, you’ll also participate in daily group activities and the discussion of a common reader to provide you with a model for how to redefine your own research. Cultural events and excursions supplement the program.

London Field Studies
In this rigorous field study, you will travel to London, England, during the first two weeks of May to access resources unavailable in the United States and to enrich your independent spring and summer term-long research.
Participants will be immersed in an innovative urban center—the most populous capital of Western Europe and one of the world’s global cities—as well as a community of their peers, undergraduates dedicated to independently designed research projects. The city of London and the Field Studies program empower you to not only improve your research project, but also to see it and yourself in an international context.
In pre- and post-trip meetings with your peers, you also will discuss the thematic similarities and differences between your diverse projects. While you will conduct the majority of your study independently, at locations decided by you and a faculty mentor, planned cultural activities and daily group discussions will enhance your project.

| “The London Field Studies trip challenged me to work independently and outside of my comfort zone. The trip broadened my understanding of what I’ve been learning in the classroom and really helped me to expand my interests in a real-world setting.” — Blair Wegescheide (Architectural Studies and Urban Studies) |
