Welcome to the International Field Program
The International Field Program (IFP) provides practical field experiences through work/research with NGOs, international organizations, government and local agencies, as well as a unique link between classroom curriculum and ongoing research in the world of practice. Students are placed in-country in an internship or conduct applied research, where they continue to explore specific questions and problems from a theoretical standpoint.
The IFP is a competitive program. Students interested in participating must fulfill eligibility requirements, submit an application, and undergo an interviewing process for selection.
The 2012 GPIA International Field Program will offer unique country programs ranging from rural community development fieldwork to internships with international organizations. Participating students earn nine credits toward their degree (3 Spring + 6 Summer).
