The COMHE Undergraduate Fieldwork Coordinator is Megha Ramaswamy. The coordinator may assist in locating an appropriate fieldwork opportunity, or the student may design his or her own fieldwork if it conforms to the fieldwork requirements. Fieldwork opportunities are also announced via the UPH comhe-l listserv (see UPH homepage).

The major requirement of fieldwork is to complete the 465 hours of work experience in the field.  But there are several other documents/activities that must be turned in/completed in order to get grades for each course.  There is a breakdown of these documents/activities as they correspond to grading in the syllabus.  A link to the syllabus can be found below. 

There is no formal course that accompanies the fieldwork experience.  However, students are required to attend mandatory meetings throughout the semester (3 in the summer; 4 in fall and spring).  The meeting dates/rooms will be posted through the comhe-l listserv, in Blackboard, and outside the UPH office.

All questions regarding field placements should be referred to Megha Ramaswamy, Undergraduate Fieldwork Coordinator, Hunter College, 425 East 25th Street, New York, NY 10010, Room 710W, 212-481-4433, mramaswa@hunter.cuny.edu.
