FIELD SCHOOL COSTS FOR 2023
Students interested in an internship, as described above, should consult with Prof. Farney (gfarney@rutgers.edu) about the costs.
These costs include tuition, room and board at the agriturismo, and transportation within Italy for program purposes. Airfare to Rome is not included in these costs, and participants must make their own travel arrangements being sure to arrive on time in Italy and leave only after the program has ended. We will arrange to bring you from Rome’s Fiumicino airport and take you out to the field school’s location.
There are several scholarship opportunities available from sources outside Rutgers for undergraduate and graduate students who wish to participate in archaeological excavations and field schools. Prof. Farney is happy to advise and support you in the process of applying for them. Our students have been successful in getting many of these in the past.
