Only a handful of higher education programs anywhere in the U.S. take adventure sports’ curricula to advanced levels. We’re one of them. #expstudies
If you dream of adventure and have the desire to learn what it takes, if you want to know how to lead others in their adventures, discover things about yourself as you push your body and mind to ever-increasing limits, and if you accept the challenge of pursuing these goals in majestic settings, then Expeditionary Studies is an academic program that can take you on your desired path.
The degree integrates study of such topics as the history of exploration, environmental ethics, and environmental justice, with experiences in leadership, planning, and risk management, to name a few. And always, you’ll be spending huge amounts of time advancing your skills in paddling, climbing, or skiing. In fact, the classes in those areas have more time in the field classroom than in the traditional classroom. #expstudies
The mission of the Department of Expeditionary Studies is to prepare students for positions as outdoor
professionals, to provide learning environments that foster growth and development, and to inculcate
creative, critical, and humane thinking.
Undergraduate (B.S.) degree from the State University of New York College at Plattsburgh.
