About Chicago Field Studies
Chicago Field Studies believes experiential learning is an integral part of academic study. Our mission is to connect Northwestern students’ academic goals with career experience through an internship placement combined with a weekly seminar class that inspires awareness, critical thinking, and enlightened discussion. By providing students with internship search and procurement assistance as well as a forum for relating their internship observations, concerns, and achievements, we help students build a network of support that extends beyond the classroom and into life.
