The Subject/Field Code describes the prospective scholar's subject or field of focus at the UMN.
The code is needed for UMN departments completing the ISSS application to invite new J-1 research scholars, professors, and short-term scholars. For UMN departments inviting new student-interns, the code is needed to complete step 2 of the host department application.
