Geoscience Field Experience

Catalog description

Geoscience is an all-encompassing course of study focused on the planet earth. The purpose of this course will be to provide students with integrated field experience in the Geosciences. A significant portion of the course work is completed in the field at a local or distant location depending upon the title and focus of the course for a given semester. Students will explore the physical and cultural geography of the focus area. Students will make field observations, create sketches, record data, and construct a field notebook detailing all aspects of their field experience. Participation is required in all field activities. The course will include pre-trip class sessions and post-trip class sessions. There will be off campus travel for this course. Approximate costs are dependent on the field location and duration of the fieldwork.
