<br/><br/> Field education has historically occupied a central role in undergraduate geoscience curricula, often starting with classspecifi c weekend fi eld trips and progressing to a capstone summer fi eld course or "camp" at the conclusion of undergraduate coursework. Over the past century, countless geoscience students have honed their fi eld credentials through immersion in the techniques of geologic fi eld mapping as part of a sixto eight-week summer fi eld course. Traditionally, fi eld camp has been required for graduation by many college geoscience departments, and nearly 100 fi eld camps are currently offered by accredited American universities and colleges (King, 2009).
