The Independent Experiential Study Program (IES) provides an opportunity for Arts & Science degree students (St. George) beginning their third year (i.e., after completing at least 9 but not more than 14 credits) to participate in a practical or experiential activity under the supervision of a faculty member. The practical, experiential component can take the form of research/learning in archives, laboratories, libraries, or in a field camp, etc.—but not in a classroom at another university (that is covered by the Faculty’s summer abroad and exchange programs). The projects run within the May-August period, when both Faculty and students would be able to make the time commitments necessary. Regular tuition fees apply.
Each 398H0/399Y0 has a program-specific designator, such as ANT, CLA, CSB, VIC, etc., and would be eligible to count towards program completion if the program sponsor (Chair or Director) so chooses. A limited number of 398H0/399Y0 courses are available each year. In an effort to provide as many international opportunities as posssible for Arts and Science students, priority is given to students who have not participated in Faculty of Arts and Science off-campus funding opportunities (Internationalized Course Module (ICM) or another 399). Faculty supervisors propose the projects and choose the students who apply. Students must also attend a Safety Abroad Seminar.
Students apply directly to the 398H0/399Y0 Faculty Supervisor with the 398H0/399Y0 application form (this is a Microsoft Word document).
Deadline: Monday February 27, 2012
