Field Program

Beloit’s Geology Department places an emphasis on field work as part of the geology curriculum. Nearly all of our courses include a local field component and many include longer field trips, such as a weekend trip to explore the glacial landscapes of Wisconsin, a four-day Fall Break trip to explore the mineralogy and petrology of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, and trips throughout the Midwestern United States focusing on Paleozoic paleontology and stratigraphy.
