Study Abroad and Field Studies

Study abroad and field studies offers students a chance to put theory into practice through local, regional, and international field study semesters, exchanges, internships, and individual courses. McGill's study abroad opportunities provide practical experience and a chance to integrate and apply knowledge gained in the classroom. In many cases, field courses can be counted towards major program requirements.
