The Geologic Field Experience

Required for the B.S. in Geosciences:

Students completing the B.S. degree in Geosciences are required to take a departmentally approved field camp from another college or university (minimum of 4 semester credit hours). Students would normally take this during the summer, after their junior year or after their senior year depending upon their level of preparation. This field experience may be a traditional field geology course or a field based course in Hydrology, Environmental Geology or Geophysics, etc. Students must have approval of the department chair before enrolling in the Field Experience.
