It depends on what majors are offered at the college or university you are interested in and if the classes offered there involve field research. I’m a senior at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry which is very well known for their programs. Many of our classes have lab field trips for research and there are many majors in the biology department that could lead to a career in field biology. We have many different properties besides our main campus for use for field research. Over the summer, biology majors take field classes at our Biological Station at Cranberry Lake in the Adirondack Park. Also, ESF offers many trips and classes for research out in the field. I recently did research on mosses in Ireland and a few of my friends will be going to Australia to research coral reefs.

So basically, look into the classes that are offered at the institution you are interested in, check out college websites and visit campuses. Be sure to ask questions about field research opportunities.
