The geology field course is a three-week long summer Individual Advanced Development Program. It is taught at a variety of field locations as funding and travel opportunities allow, but always directly driven by the location's link to course concepts. Geologic concepts are initially presented in a classroom setting and supplemented with laboratory exercises. The majority of the course, however, is conducted at geologic sites in the field where concepts are illustrated and expanded. The course provides the cadet with knowledge of and appreciation for the science of geology as well as practical experience in geological mapping. Field trips to active mines and active geologic research locations relate classroom learning to the real world.
