The FMS Field Program is an immersive professional learning program in which the participants complete a six-month professional assignment with an organization to utilize FMS skills in the field. Those seeking academic credits must complete a research project in addition to the professional assignment and work under the supervision of an FMS program faculty member. Successful completion of the research project warrants 6 credits on a pass/no-pass basis. The tuition for the FMS field program without academic credits is $6,000. The tuition with 6 credits is $9,600 (FY 2011/2012). Neither option covers transportation or living expenses.
