International & Indigenous Course Modules (IICMs) provide an opportunity for faculty to take a group of undergraduate students on a Reading Week trip as part of a course. IICMs are designed to enhance students’ classroom learning by applying course content to relevant settings and communities around the globe. Learn more about this program offered through the Faculty of Arts & Science.
Upcoming IICM Trips in Earth Sciences Courses
The next IICM trip will be to Chile with Professors Dan Gregory and Corliss Sio. Students enrolled in ESS423H1S - Mineral Deposits and ESS322H1S - Igneous Petrology will receive information in class about this opportunity.
Past IICM Trips
The table below lists some of the courses and places visitied through the IICM Program since 2012. A video made by students on the 2022 Chile trip can be viewed on the U of T Earth Sciences Youtube channel.
