Outbound Opportunities

Dive into this academically robust opportunity as you travel with a group of Mount Royal University faculty and students to combine experiential learning and coursework to integrate your education with your international destinations. Field Schools usually run in the spring semester and can range from 4-6 weeks, so they do not interfere with your regular program during Fall and Winter semesters.

Student experiences

"I have not only grown personally but also academically and professionally, as this field school has shown me doors to every situation possible and has opened my perspective to the unimaginable.” – Amanda Creig, India 2018
“The best education you will ever get is through travelling. Nothing teaches you more than stepping outside of your comfort zone, exploring the world and accumulating experiences. – Carissa Schmidtke, Iceland 2019
"This trip took a dive into the deep end with experiential learning. Every moment there was something new to learn that I could never read in a textbook.“ – Carley Polinelli, Peru 2019
