About Natural History Field Studies
Springtime in the Sacramento Valley at the top of the Sutter Buttes. Life is good!
Natural History Field Studies is for everyone
Prerequisites: none
Credits are Transferable
Hours: 12 hours of lecture (6 hours in the classroom. 6 hours in the field) and 18 hours of lab (in the field)
Natural History Field Studies is a series of 1-unit classes designed for the purpose of studying both inbound and international ecosystems in pristine ecological areas. Our inbound studies take place in California and Nevada. Students have a broad choice of courses from destinations that include the central and northern California coast, the Sacramento and San Joaquin Valleys, The Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Great Basin bordering the east slope of the Sierra mountain range. The Science Department at Folsom Lake College is constantly brainstorming new field classes for our students.

Everyone benefits from field studies - people with a high interest in outdoor activities, nature enthusiasts, teachers and biologists seeking professional growth and interested in learning interpretive methods. Field studies are a must for biology majors - classroom instruction is limited in fulfilling the experiences of a potential career biologist.
