COVID-19 Vaccine Policy Related to Travel Programs

Arcadia’s Travel Advisory Committee requires that all participants in university-sponsored international travel are “up to date” with their COVID vaccination and booster, per CDC guidelines. Exceptions to the policy will be granted based on reasonable health and religious grounds, permitting they are in compliance with local regulations in the destination country. Participants requesting an exemption should do so via the University’s Travel Advisory Committee, which will evaluate the specific circumstances of the travel. Before applying to participate in travel programs, individuals with questions related to vaccination status should contact globalengagement@arcadia.edu.

Global Field Study Frequently Asked Questions

What are Global Field Study Courses?

Global Field Studies (GFS) are 4-credit semester-long courses with a global focus and planned travel component. They are open to juniors and seniors, and sometimes sophomores and graduate students. They can meet major requirements and carry AUC designations. Some courses have prerequisites or other eligibility requirements; see course descriptions for details. Graduate students earn 3 grad-level credits for GFS courses.

Who is eligible to participate in the GFS courses?
  • Full and part-time matriculated juniors and seniors. Some courses accept sophomores and graduate students. 
  • Transfer students who have completed at least one semester (a minimum of 12 credits) of coursework at Arcadia.
  • See course descriptions for details on prerequisites and additional eligibility requirements.
How do I apply for and enroll in a GFS course?

GFS courses are not open to direct registration and appear closed in Self-Service. This is because students must submit an application and meet other eligibility requirements. Most students wishing to apply for GFS courses will receive an emailed invitation to apply for GFS with a personalized application link. If you did not receive an invitation to apply, please contact globalengagement@arcadia.edu for assistance. 

Enrollment in GFS courses is on a first-come, first-served basis, and in addition to the GFS application, all GFS applicants must submit a GFS deposit of $300 to finalize registration in their chosen course. This deposit will apply toward the total travel fee for the course and can be paid in person at the Office of Student Accounts or online through Self-Service. 

How are the Field Study topics and location focuses chosen?

Each semester, Global Engagement puts out a call to Arcadia faculty and staff for Global Field Study course proposals. The courses we offer are based on the research interests and expertise of our faculty and staff who lead them. We strive to offer a varied slate of courses, based in different academic disciplines and in different corners of the world, including North America.

What are GFS Travel Fees?

Global Field Study courses carry a travel fee, in addition to your regular tuition. The travel fee range for courses will be listed on the GFS Courses page. Payments can be made online via Self-Service/eBill, or you may pay by cash or check at the Office of Student Accounts. Make checks payable to Arcadia University.

GFS travel fees vary by course and will be finalized early in the semester the course runs. Total fees depend on the location and the length of the field study. The travel fee typically includes:

  • Airfare
  • Accommodations
  • In-country ground transportation
  • All tours, lectures, and group activities

Travel fees can be paid in installments through any method you usually use to pay account charges. Other cost details specific to your field study location will be outlined by your faculty leader.

Passports

Do I need a passport or visa for a GFS course?

Passports are required for all international travel, and you will need to submit a copy to Global Engagement. We strongly recommend that students request expedited passport processing (additional fee applies) for new passport applications and renewals because regular processing time is approximately 3 months. If you currently have a passport, be sure the expiration date is at least 6 months after your return date.

Passport Application and Documentation

Passport application available through the U.S. State Department website.

Please see this excerpt from the Global Field Study Enrollment Agreement on travel documentation, including valid US passports:

Proper Travel Documentation:

I understand that it is my responsibility to have all travel documents necessary for domestic and/or international program travel. For international travel, this includes a valid passport for the duration of my time abroad and for any required amount of time after I return as stipulated by the immigration policy of my host country.  I agree to obtain any and all visa and clearances prior to my time abroad and ensure I have obtained the proper authorization to study in my host country. I understand that Arcadia University is not responsible for any decisions made by foreign embassies or consulates regarding approval of visa documentation and/or immigration clearance. I understand that the failure to obtain appropriate travel documents may result in my removal from the program and that I will be responsible for the travel fee and any additional non-recoverable costs incurred by Arcadia University on my behalf. 

Passport Processing

Need a passport? All international travel will require one, and processing time is around 12 weeks, so apply now! Visit travel.state.gov for application information. Email globalengagement@arcadia.edu with questions. 

Travel Plan Changes, Dropping Courses, Cancelations and Refunds

What if it's not possible to travel to the planned field study location?

Sometimes, Arcadia needs to change travel plans in order to keep everyone as safe as possible. Please read this excerpt from the Global Field Study Enrollment Agreement with more information:

Arcadia University reserves the right to cancel, alter, suspend, or amend any part of any program or to increase fees should circumstances make these actions advisable or necessary. I understand that the program calendar dates posted on the Arcadia University website are tentative in nature, and can change at any time. Arcadia University will alert me of any such changes and will work to minimize any disruption to my planning. 

Can I drop a GFS Course?

The drop period for GFS courses ends one day (24 hours) after your first class meeting.  At that time, you will be responsible for the entire amount of the travel fee for your GFS course, even if you later withdraw. In most cases, students who drop a course before it begins will not be refunded their GFS deposit because the university will have incurred costs on the students' behalf. 

Please see this excerpt from the Global Field Study Enrollment Agreement pertaining to the drop policy for GFS courses:

I understand that the drop period for GFS courses ends one day (24 hours) after my first class meeting. After the 24-hour drop period, the travel fee for the GFS course will be placed on my student account and must be paid in full 2 weeks before the end of the semester in which the course travels. The travel fee will remain my responsibility to pay even if I withdraw from the GFS course at any point during the semester after the initial 24-hour drop period.  Withdrawals or dismissals from the program for academic or disciplinary reasons are subject to additional fees for non-recoverable expenses.

Cancellation/Refund

In the case of the total cancellation of your course, students will be refunded any monies paid toward the course. If a course continues but the field study portion is altered, students may be responsible to pay alternate programming costs necessary to meet the academic goals of the course, such as local excursions and guest speakers, etc. Students will be informed in a timely manner about these fees.

AH 224 Baroque Art with travel to Italy

Group of students with instructor Jill Pederson on their trip to Italy.

Instructor:  Jill Pederson
Meeting Time: Wednesdays 10:00 am-12:00 pm
Travel Dates: 5/28-6/6/23 (please note later departure date)
Travel Fee Range: $2,250-2,550
AUC Fulfillment: CB/VL

This course considers works of art and architecture in Southern Europe from the end of the sixteenth through  the beginning of the eighteenth centuries. This period is characterized by massive upheaval in religious  systems, vast scientific discoveries, and political turmoil, all of which contributed to the fundamental  reconsideration of the values that had underpinned European society for centuries, leading to a range of  dramatic responses in the visual arts. Students in this course will be introduced to artistic production across a  range of media, including painting, sculpture, and architecture, in important European artistic centers. Special emphasis will be placed on Rome, the political and cultural center of Western Christendom. Though the  authority of this city was undermined in the sixteenth century, it emerged in even grander glory in the Baroque  period as it came to represent the cultural jewel of the West, reflecting the power and wealth of kings, popes,  and cardinals. As much of Baroque art is predicated on the manipulation of light and scale, students in this course will have the essential opportunity to fully appreciate these works on site in Rome’s palaces, churches,  and museums.

Open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors

GFS 320/420 Castles, Forests, and Fairy Tales: Mapping the German Landscape

A castle in Bavaria

Travel Location: Bavaria, Germany
Instructors: Allyson McCreery and Rhianon Visinsky

This Global Field Study will examine the literary, architectural, and landscape intricacies of the region of Bavaria, Germany. Using geocritical theory as a guide, students will explore the ways in which the German landscape influenced the creation and adaptation of narratives and how those narratives, in turn, influence the ways in which the land is viewed by those “reading” it. We will do this, in part, by reading select fairy tales, myths, and legends from around the globe and comparing those tales to the landscapes of Germany. We will create our own visual landscapes of the tales using various methods of computer and artistic generation; research the origins of the tales, the landscape and architecture; write a research essay and a group project; and create a map utilizing GIS technology. The field component of this course will explore the storied landscapes of Germany.

During our field study, Bali is our “living classroom” where we examine the ways that individual, community, and environmental well-being are intertwined and connected to global economies and local ecologies. Exploring Bali’s challenges through interactions with the island’s NGOs provides real-world context for issues discussed in the classroom. Students have multiple learning opportunities including visiting revered Balinese temples and royal palaces, exploring sustainability in a national park, snorkeling over coral restoration sites, speaking with a member of the Balinese royal family, and visiting an organization that brings simple technologies to communities in need. This GFS combines experiential learning with reflective writing, culminating in a project where you explore podcasting or photoethnography based on your experience in the field study.

Open to sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students.

AUC Fulfillment: CL, NPL, GCE/GCR

This course will focus on the marine biology and cultural history of Fijian Islands, culminating in a 12-day field study to the Fijian island chains. This is a global experience course with an optional global reflection piece. The Fijian archipelago has more than 330 islands with 110 permanently inhabited encompassing a land area of about 18,300 square kilometers (7,100 sq mi). We will be taking daily trips to explore and learn about key marine habitats and cultural sites of the islands. We will learn about both the marine plants and animals of the island, but will focus on the marine plants since these are less well characterized. Evening activities include lectures, night snorkels, and other lab activities. Prerequisites: An interest in nature, marine biology and/or Pacific culture. Trip includes rigorous daily hikes and snorkeling, thus one needs to be in reasonable physical shape and a capable swimmer. Snorkeling and water safety will be taught in the required pre-trip classes. Students will need to pass a swim test before the first class meeting.

Open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.

GFS 321 Exploring National Identity in Central Europe

Travel Dates: 5/20-6/1/23
Travel Fee Range: $2,975-$3,375 depending on enrollment and variable costs
AUC Fulfillment: CL, GCE/GCR

This course will study how nation-states develop a common national identity and its importance to governmental power. Students will develop an awareness about a nation-state’s use of visual culture to form or project a national identity. This course will study the cultural artifacts that have been used throughout history to form national identity and national narratives, including architecture, monuments, memorials, and art. Students will visit Munich/Nuremberg, Germany and Vienna, Austria, and read an array of sources that examine the importance of capital city architecture, memorialization of key historical monuments, as well as the use of museums to preserve artifacts and art that construct national narratives, identity, and history. Before exploring the international sites, students will examine the United States’ national identity and visit Washington, D.C. to explore how our government uses architecture, monuments, memorials, and art to construct an American identity that shapes the country’s cultural and historical narratives.

Open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
