Study Abroad and Field Courses


The Department of Geoscience prides itself on the incredible range of offerings of field courses and study abroad experiences for students to engage in hands-on learning and traveling opportunities. You'll emerge a globally-minded student with first-hand knowledge of geographic processes and patterns with more memories than will fit into your carry-on. 


The Office of International Programs and Offerings has a travel scholarship available to subsidize the cost of studying abroad.


Students take a mountain bike ride through the mountains of Peru.

Studying abroad in Jamaica.

Field courses are a great opportunity for our students to travel to a region in the United States and explore the culture and geographic qualities and processes that are unique to that place. It's also a great way to build community with fellow geography students and with faculty members.

Watch this space for future Field Courses!
