The Mongolia Field School provides short-term, educational travel experiences for undergraduate and graduate students, scholars, faculty, independent researchers, and lifelong learners. Previous experience with Mongolia or in the subject matter of a given Field School is not required. We simply ask that participants arrive in Mongolia with an open mind, a good pair of walking shoes, and a desire to learn. Field School courses are taught in English by experienced instructors who are experts in their field, and usually range from ten days to two weeks in length over the summer each year.
All participants must be 18 years of age or older by the beginning of their chosen Mongolia Field School course. For more information, visit About the Field School.
Please note that course offerings, itineraries, and content are subject to change. ACMS cannot guarantee that a course offered one year will be offered the next and encourage anyone interested in a specific course to apply as soon as possible. All courses must meet a minimum enrollment to run.
All tuition payments are due in full by May 1, 2026. For more information about payment and refunds, please see our Participant-Initiated Cancellation and Refund Policy.
