Field training is a common component of most geology programs.
Geology field camp provides the concentrated training in field techniques required to work in the geosciences. Classroom training comes alive in the field, providing the sense of scale, spatial relationships, and heterogeneity difficult to appreciate in the classroom or laboratory. Employers will look for field work experience in your training. A six credit hour course is required for the Geology BS degree at UALR and must currently be taken at another university's camp. UA-Fayetteville camp at Dillon, MT is and excellent geology field camp, and is frequently selected by our geology majors.
