Yes

A brief description of the practice:

Historically, Vassar has emphasized to its students the importance of learning beyond the classroom and the laboratory: since 1949 our Field Work Office has helped students earn academic credit for this "experiential" learning, while simultaneously contributing their skills to hundreds of local agencies and organizations. Over time these opportunities have reached even further outside of our local community, based on the individual students’ interests.
Field Work is part of students’ academic curriculum, and doing fieldwork for academic credit is the most popular way that Vassar students can get involved off-campus.
