Academic Minor in Outdoor Education   

Graduates from the class of 1985 paddle with Professor Grant Herman in the Mainland Sea Caves, part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

The academic minor in Outdoor Education is intended to meet the needs of the student who finds that participation in one of the Block programs is impossible.  Student athletes and students on music scholarships, with families or working outside of the College, have often found this difficult to schedule.  The minor in outdoor education may accompany any academic major.  It makes a particularly effective partnership with certification in elementary or secondary education.  Students can receive a minor in outdoor education by completing the following courses.
