It is a valuable opportunity to participate in cutting-edge studies and get a taste for what it means to contribute new knowledge to science. Research opportunities cover a wide range of topics, and may include field work or laboratory based research. Many undergraduates choose to complete senior theses as a capstone experience; some choose to do research throughout their four years at WashU. To get started, peruse our research page for a list of department labs and research groups. Most faculty have research opportunities for undergraduates in their lab, but you're invited to contact faculty with whom you've taken a course previously, and whose research you find exciting. If you are interested in performing non-thesis research for credit, you have the option of signing up for EEPS 390 Independent Study. For rough guidance, here are some typical expectations: Independent Study Experiences 0.5 hours per week of one-on-one instruction plus a body of written work of at least 2500 words (or equivalent project work) for one unit. 1.0 hours per week + 3750 words (or equivalent) for 2 units. 1.5 hours per week + 5000 words (or equivalent) for 3 units. Guided Research Experiences Minimum two to three hours per week during standard semester is required for 1 unit. Additional reading outside of research time expected. Research GrantsSome faculty will support undergraduate researchers using research grants. Students may also obtain their own research funding from WashU&＃039;s SURA program.SURA ProgramStudy Abroad ProgramsFrontiers Abroad Program for GeologyThe Geology of New Zealand program can be used to fulfill the 6-credit field camp requirement for Geology majors. For this program, it is recommended that applicants have completed courses in Introduction to Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Science (EEPS 202), Minerals Rocks Resources Environment (EEPS 340), Surface Processes (EEPS 409), Sedimentary Geology (EEPS 422), Hydrology (EEPS 428), and Petrology (EEPS 437). This program is hosted at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch. Majors applying to this program should have completed a minimum of three classes on this list.Learn More University of St. AndrewsSpending a semester at the University of St. Andrews affords the opportunity for visiting geology students to gain field training experience in some of the classic geological localities in Scotland. Learn More Frontiers Abroad Program for Earth SystemsStudents can also participate in the New Zealand Earth Systems course. This program does not fulfill the field camp requirement. For this program, it is recommended that applicants have completed courses in Introduction to Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Science (EEPS 202), Minerals Rocks Resources Environment (EEPS 340), Surface Processes (EEPS 409), Sedimentary Geology (EEPS 422), Hydrology (EEPS 428), and Petrology (EEPS 437). This program is hosted at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch or at the University of Auckland. Majors applying to this program should have completed a minimum of three classes on this list.Learn More Trinity College DublinThis program offers a mixture of classroom field modules, through the Department of Geology. Students enrolled in this program during the spring semester participate in several international field trips around Europe. Destinations currently include trips to County Wexford in Ireland, the Almeria region of Spain, and the mainland and volcanic islands of Greece. For students enrolling in this program, it is recommended that they have completed courses in Introduction to Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Science (EEPS 202), Minerals Rocks Resources Environment (EEPS 340), Petrology (EEPS 437), Sedimentary Geology (EEPS 422). Students enroll through IES Abroad Dublin, which arranges housing, student support, and cultural excursions around Ireland. This program does not fulfill the field camp requirement.Learn More University of Cape TownThis program offers classes in Geology and the opportunity to take a number of courses among different disciplines. This program does not fulfill the field camp requirement. For students enrolling in this program, it is recommended that they have completed courses in Introduction to Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Science (EEPS 202), and Minerals Rocks Resources Environment (EEPS 340). A core component of the program in Cape Town is service learning. Students enroll through IES Abroad Cape Town.Learn More University of EdinburghThis program offers courses in Earth Science and the opportunity to take a number of courses among different disciplines. This program does not fulfill the field camp requirement. For students enrolling in this program, it is recommended that they have completed courses in Introduction to Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Science (EEPS 202), and Minerals Rocks Resources Environment (EEPS 340).

Visit renewable energy centers and glaciers amidst Iceland&＃039;s and Greenland&＃039;s unique landscapes. This program does not fulfill the field camp requirement.Learn More Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionSemester at WHOI (SAW) is an undergraduate residential “study-away” opportunity at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Woods Hole, MA, on Cape Cod. The program features a for-credit, semester-long research experience directly advised by a WHOI scientist or engineer as well as the opportunity to take graduate-level courses modified for undergraduate credit. The combination of research project and coursework constitute a full semester of credit that is transferable to the student&＃039;s home institution. SAW is particularly well suited for students who are considering an advanced degree in ocean science or engineering and related fields in the earth sciences. This program does not fulfill the field camp requirement.Learn More Study Abroad Questions?We&＃039;re here to help.Contact Kun WangGet into the FieldIn EEPS at WashU, we believe that hands-on application of field-based techniques is integral to your education. Therefore, we offer EEPS 496 Field Geology each spring to provide an opportunity for you to synthesize diverse classroom knowledge in a field setting. This course includes an international trip over spring break, which is paid for by the department. Recent trips went to such far-flung locales as Scotland, Italy, Spain, and the Azores off of Portugal. You can see photos from these trips in our photo gallery below. DSC_0418.JPG Field Notes: Azores, Portugal Undergraduate students from Washington University in St. Louis traveled to the remote Azores archipelago to study the eruptive volcanism of Sao Miguel island. In this upper-division field geology course (EEPS 496), students advance their skills in field data collection and interpretation at the so-called “triple junction” of the American, African and European tectonic plates. Overseas Programs embark on your international journeyUndergrad Research create knowledge in any discipline with the office of undergrad researchStudy Abroadprocedures, requirements, and policies for study abroad programsField Camp OpportunitiesTypical field camp requirements Most field courses recommend that applicants have completed courses in physical geology (such as EEPS 202 Introduction to Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences), historical geology (such as EEPS 385 Earth History), mineralogy (such as EEPS 352 Earth Materials), petrology (EEPS 437), structural geology (EEPS 361 and/or EEPS 496 Undergraduate Field Geology), and sedimentology/stratigraphy (such as EEPS 422 Sedimentary Geology). EEPS majors applying to field camp should have completed at least several of the classes on this list.  Many programs begin accepting applications in the fall, so apply early. Typical expenses are in the range of $4000 to $5000, and these tend to cover tuition and fees, most lodging and meal costs, but not necessarily all. All field camps must be approved by Professor Brad Jolliff prior to enrolling. Some field camps popular with our majors: University of Missouri, Branson Field Camp (very popular, fills up early in the fall) Iowa State University Field Camp Southern Illinois University (SIU) Field Course Approval of Summer Field Camp Selection Form (PDF) Photos from the Ends of the Earth EEPS students and faculty share photos from their travels Quick LinksFacilitiesResearch CentersDiversity & InclusionCoursesOur AlumniHow to Reach UsComputer SupportResourcesAdditional information Arts & Sciences Graduate Studies in A&SCopyright 2024 by:Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. LouisFollow Us Instagram Twitter Contact Us: Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences [email protected] 314-935-5610 Visit the main Washington University in St. Louis website1 Brookings Drive / St. Louis, MO 63130 / wustl.edu
