Unlike a traditional semester in which students take several courses simultaneously, Ohio Northern University field semester students spend weeks on just one topic.
This semester in the Department of Biological and Allied Health Science is comprised of four three-week modules on field botany, field invertebrate, ichthyology and marine biology.
Students taking the class travel explore Ohio and spend time in Florida studying specimens in the Gulf of Mexico.
