Abstract	Anecdotal evidence suggests that “learning in the field” has distinctive benefits to undergraduate education, but direct evidence about these benefits and effective practices in field-based science education is limited. The Undergraduate Field Experiences Research Network (UFERN) aims to address this gap as well as the opportunity for broadening participation in field sciences by building an interdisciplinary collaborative research network that fosters effective undergraduate field experiences. The landscape study, which this report is based upon aims to provide a landscape view of the nature of extended field programs, collection of evidence by these programs and a sense for their design. This survey serves as a launching point for UFERN with the goal of inspiring conversations, questioning assumptions, and providing perspective of practitioners leading undergraduate field experiences.
