We have blended the Associate in Arts degree with Wilderness Studies for an exciting transferable degree program.
Graduates are guaranteed transfer to four year colleges and universities in Colorado.
Similar programs across the nation, including Alaska, may also accept transfer credit for further study in the Outdoor Recreation field. Wilderness Studies Concentration allows you to build a solid foundation in communications and liberal arts combined with wilderness leadership and technical skills. You will study theoretical concepts in classrooms, then apply them in some of the most spectacular and challenging outdoor settings throughout the western United States, Canada and Central America. You might train with us to be a river guide in the summer, take a rain forest ecology course in Costa Rica, or learn route finding and avalanche safety on winter ascents in Colorado. These specialty areas add to your knowledge base for four year programs or the job market.
