The Field of Study is the basic building block of the Fletcher curriculum. These areas of specialization or concentration are the School's "depth" requirement. Fields enable you to develop a specific set of skills related to a functional topic or geographic area. Field requirements are often completed by taking courses in more than one division of our three divisions. MALD students are required to graduate with two Fields of Study. Ph.D. students must complete three, or a deeper level of study in two Fields. MIB students must complete two Fields of Study, including one international business Field. MA students are not required to present Fields of Study, though many do. Below you will find a comprehensive listing of course requirements for our Fields.
