Field Seminars

Immersive learning is at the core of a Williams-Mystic education, which is why we conduct several field seminars each semester, including multi-day explorations of some of the country's most dynamic and rapidly-changing coastlines. In addition to the multi-day Maine and Louisiana seminars each semester, a local seminar to Providence, New Bedford or Block Island is often on the syllabus.

Faculty and staff join students on these field seminars, as we visit sites off the beaten path. Professors lead talks on beaches, deltas and historic sites across the country. From the shipping terminals of the Gulf Coast to the range of habitats in the Gulf of Maine, we bring our classroom with us wherever we go.
