Unfortunately, due to a one-time staffing issue, we won't be able to accept outside students this summer. Next summer, we probably will.

Prerequisites: Physical Geology, Earth History, Structural Geology, Mineralogy, Petrology, Stratigraphy & Sedimentation. (Note that although a field methods course is not required, basic knowledge such as use of a Brunton compass, pacing, topographic maps, etc. is expected.) Cost (from 2012): Tuition (about $216 / credit x 12 credits = about $2592 plus $180 for out of state students) + WWU Fees (about $187) + Course Fees ($800, principally for transportation/camping costs) = about $3759.

Extended InformationTopics Covered: Specific learning objectives for the course are listed here.
Locations: Various locations in Idaho and Montana. See schedule for details as they are finalized.
Number of students: between 11-22.
Accommodations: 100% tent camping. Groups of 3-5 will be formed for cooking purposes. Campground costs will be paid out of fees, together with transportation costs and other group expenses. Food costs are borne by each student. You must provide your own camping / cooking gear, although often students "buddy up" in tents to save money.
Conditions / Preparedness:This is a rigorous field mapping course; you must be in good physical condition to participate. Although no technical skills are necessary, some field locations require hiking on steep terrain at high elevation (up to 11,000 feet). Others may require working in hot, dry conditions (occasional daytime temperatures up to 105 degrees F; normal temperatures 70-95 degrees F).
