All earth science majors with a geology concentration are required to attend a summer geology field camp, typically five to six weeks long, and usually taken between the junior and senior years of undergraduate study (transfers to SNC as ERTH 450). Attending field camp is an additional expense and must be taken through a university program approved by the earth science faculty. Senior Thesis (ERTH 496) and a second semester of Calculus and Analytic Geometry (MATH 132) are strongly recommended for those students who plan to attend graduate school.
