Department of Geosciences - Summer Field Course (GEO 429)
 
           

The University of Montana offers a comprehensive 6-credit Field Geology Course in geologically spectacular western Montana. The course will base out of the Dillon, Montana region in southwestern Montana.

 

Suggested prerequisites for the summer field course

We strongly recommend courses in general geology, petrology, stratigraphy, and structural geology before taking the field geology course. Some or all of these may be waived under special conditions for especially capable students.
