Field Programs

The Department of Geology/Geography runs many field trips associated with its classes, but most importantly we have been conducting capstone courses for our undergraduate majors in geology and geography, as well as for teachers who would like to take courses needed for re-certification.  We have offered these types of courses for nearly thirty years.

Included in these current courses are:

• Geology Field Camp - GEL 4800
• The Geography, Geology, and Culture of Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, and Austria - STA 3970 (for EIU 4101, CSC 3001, or GEL 2300)
• Environment, Society, and Culture of Ecuador
