McGill currently has a Panama and an African
field studies semester to offer to students. Each takes students
for the entire Winter semester. A number of other field courses
are offered. I am only familiar with the Biology field courses,
of which my paleo field course belongs.
The
semester long field courses are:
http://www.mcgill.ca/africa/
http://www.mcgill.ca/mse/field_study/panama/
http://www.mcgill.ca/mse/field_study/barbados/
and the other single course field courses are
too numerous to list (lots in geology, geography, anthropology,
McGill School of the Environment (MSE), and biology). There is
unfortunately not a single field studies
website at McGill to link them all together.We are currently discussing
options for a Quebec/Nunavut field studies semester to bring students
to two Quebec field stations and one in Axel Heiberg (all of which
McGill owns and manages)
