University Honors College - Mongolian Field Studies 2010 Info Session
4pm
1200 Cathedral of Learning
Combine travel, coursework, intensive language study, and the opportunity to conduct independent research and/or internships. Students begin at the University of Pittsburgh with the World Of Mongolia Seminar, which introduces them to the language and culture of Mongolia. They then work with a Pitt faculty member and a Mongolian counterpart to develop research projects or find internships. Students have gone into the field to research prehistory in the Gobi, intern at power stations, and document the dynamic changes in contemporary Mongolia as it transforms itself from a socialist past to a market based future.
In addition to spending time in Mongolia, students also travel to Russia and China, introducing them to the reality of Mongolia's land locked keystone position.
3 Credits at Pitt—Spring 2010
9 Credits at the National University of Mongolia - Summer 2010
