The GEOPATHS:EXTRA Advancing Undergraduate Geosciences through Integrated Training Experiences (GP-AUGITE) project takes place on the campus at Miami University, Oxford, OH and Miami University, Hamilton, OH, with a number of field sites in Nevada.

 

This training-focused, student-centered program has been developed in order to enhance the undergraduate geoscience experience and promote career-readiness. Through a set of evidence-based approaches this program integrates experiential learning, relevant disciplinary research, scientific communication, and professional development through certification, into the undergraduate curriculum.

​

This program aims to foster an exciting, dynamic learning environment by recruiting and mentoring traditional and historically excluded undergraduate students in STEM fields.

​

The integrative approach aligns to the teacher-scholar model and demonstrates a strong commitment to the training of a STEM-literate population, and a career-ready geoscience workforce.

​
