Six weeks in the field.
Our programs are either two or six weeks in length. You get a life changing immersion in the wild, and the balance of the academic term to travel or explore on your own.

High impact, low cost.
Wildlands Studies field programs are affordable—at a fraction of other field and study abroad programs—and your financial aid may apply.

Academically rigorous.
Wildlands Studies’ programs are built on 280 hours of direct instruction with academic experts. Our faculty hold either a PhD or MS, and both author and lead our field programs. The programs are dynamic too, changing to keep apace of data and relevant science.

We offer a life changing experience along with the opportunity

Not all classrooms
have four walls.
Some of the best classrooms aren’t rooms at all. They’re experiences in wild lands, amid wild life, native cultures and indigenous people.

Because the environment matters.
We’re driven by a singular notion: the environment is precious, and only by immersing ourselves in it and studying it can we help protect it.
We’re helping students share in and contribute to this ideal.
