Self Designed Fields of Study

Fletcher’s flexible curriculum allows students to design their own Field of Study to meet individual academic interests. Along with an academic advisor, students may combine their courses taken at Fletcher with courses from Tufts University, Harvard University, and other institutions, to develop a Field of Study.

Recent examples of these student-created concentrations include:

• International Human Rights
• International Migration and Refugee Studies
• Private Sector Development
• Humanitarian Aid
• Forced Migration
• International Education
• Oceanic Studies
• Science Diplomacy

Specialized fields are subject to approval by the Committee on Student Academic Programs and are coordinated by the student and the academic advisor.
