Field Work
Many Earth Sciences courses have a regular field excursion component that are typically conducted when classes are in regular session, although some excursions may occur on weekends or following exams. Course syllabi wlll provide specific for each course's field excurisons each term, and whether trips are mandatory for the course.
Note that ERTH 3001.03 : Field School is required for all 120 credit hour degree programs in Earth Sciences and is typically held over 15 days in late August, just before the start of the University fall term.
