L & S Field Work Opportunities

Opportunities abound for undergraduates interested in gaining scientific field work experience--from anthropological to zoological research.

For instance, the Anthropology Department offers a field course in archaeological methods in which students learn methodology at an archaeological site in the Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park. Or, in Integrative Biology 173, Mammology, I B faculty affiliated with the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology teach the biology of mammals through lectures, labs, and weekend field exercises.

In addition to classes, students have unique opportunities to conduct research with Berkeley faculty under the Undergraduate Research Apprentice Program.

Above, students enrolled in Earth and Planetary Science 101, Field Geology and Digital Mapping, are briefed before starting their mapping projects.
