“Wilderness and Civilization has done
more to equip me for “real world” conservation
than any regular class could have. I have
learned more about myself, my community,
and the land around me in one year than
I had previously in my lifetime.”
~former student
Wilderness
and Civilization is an inspiring
and demanding campus- and field-based academic
program. Each year, a small group of students
from around the country explore the human-nature relationship and wilderness issues in this semester-plus program. Coursework
is interdisciplinary, and the program combines
the strengths of classroom and field learning,
small class size, dedicated faculty, and internship
experience.
