This eight-week set of courses integrates geology, anthropology, and ecology in the field, rather than in the classroom. The course is taught on-the-road during the summer, traveling coast-to-coast. Students learn primarily from lectures and laboratory exercises in the field, group projects, and museum visits.

The program has a SPOT GPS page that tracks the location and route of the program. Check it out!

Course credit includes core natural and social sciences as well as upper-division electives. Students in any major may participate. Applications are accepted from November through February for the following summer’s trip.
