Other Important Information

Wichita State's geology field camp is a foundational capstone experience where students learn practical mapping, data collection, and problem-solving skills. We welcome applications from other colleges and universities. The camp emphasizes inclusive and safe social settings and field practices. The camp is underwritten by the Woolsey Family Fund for Geology Field Camp, which translates to a camp fee waiver (worth ~$2000) for each participating traditional, in-person student. Out-of-state tuition is very competitive.
