Student Eligibility Jane Buikstra and Students

The field school in Kampsville, Illinois, is an annual Arizona State University program. Students presently attending any other college or university may apply to the ASU field school. High school juniors and seniors in the concurrent enrollment program are also eligible to apply. Applications for concurrent enrollment may be obtained through the ASU Center for Global Education Services.

All field school students are formally enrolled in ASU for the duration of the program. They receive Arizona State University credits that are transferable to other colleges and universities in most instances. Students should check with their university registrar or other official to determine transferability of ASU field school credits.

Registration in the field school does not constitute admission to any ASU degree program. Students other than ASU degree candidates may petition to apply field school credits toward an ASU degree only if they apply to ASU and are admitted as ASU degree candidates.

Because the field school is largely sponsored by student tuition, it is not possible to include non-enrolled volunteer excavators.

Students are expected to comply with all federal, state and local laws. Noncompliance is grounds for immediate dismissal from the field school.

You must be at least 18 years of age, have a minimum GPA of 2.5 (on a 4.0 scale) and be in good standing with your home institution. You are required to present a brief statement, 2 letters of recommendation and a copy of your transcript (unofficial is fine) with your application.
