Earn Continuing Education Units

Each summer, typically in the month of June, Southwestern Adventist
University conducts a Field Research Project in the Lance Formation of
eastern Wyoming. In conjunction with the undergraduate course, GEOL 240,
teachers may earn Continuing Education Units or Professional Development Credits
in laboratory science by engaging in a real science research project.
The program consists of a balance of instruction in technique, practical
experience in exacavating fossil dinosaur remains, overview of dinosaur
life, and general science concepts and principles.
As part of the total exposure, "field trips" are planned to museums, natural
phenomena, and scenic sights in the Black Hills of South Dakota and the surrounding region.
Four Continuing Education Units may be earned during two weeks selected from the four-week experience.
Of course, any teacher is also encouraged to spend even more than the required two weeks!
