Opportunities - During the BA

Research Opportunities in the Department

Original research is a fundamental part of most careers in the Earth and Environmental Sciences.  For many, an undergraduate research experience stimulates a deeper undertanding and appreciation for the pratice of science that forms a basis for future endeavors.  Students are encouraged to do research with the faculty during the summer (funding is availble) and/or the school year (for credit).  Talk to the faculty to see how you can be involved.  Below are several standard avenues for funded summer research in E&ES:

Field Camps

Students may attend summer field camp for elective credit. Please check with your advisor to make sure that the field camp you select is appropriate for credit.  Funds are available from the department to help defray the costs of field camp: requests for department funding due March 1, 2013, check websites  for application deadlines to a given field camp
