All Scholar Intensive Certificate students complete a field experience: an extended work/volunteer experience in education theory and research, policy, or pedagogy. Field experiences are either full-time summer placements (at least 8 weeks) or part-time, full-year placements (several hours per week during the academic year). They can take place before or after acceptance to the Scholars Intensive Certificate.
Students have fulfilled this requirement in many different ways—as tutors, camp counselors, research assistants, and interns at a variety of organizations. Read student-created guides to courses and internships on the EDST Wiki.
Current students, please email Mira Debs, Director of Education Studies, with the a) name of your field experience organization, b) location, c) program duration and d) supervisor email, to add your field experience to your degree audit.
