Adventure Education Minor

The Adventure Education minor prepares students to lead and teach in a variety of settings that use outdoor and adventure environments as a tool to create change in individuals, organizations, and society. 

The Adventure Education minor is likely a good fit for you if you:

• Want to be an educator or outdoor leader to help others and use adventure philosophy within adventure-based school, community, or outdoor programming.
• Want to enhance your relationships for intrapersonal, interpersonal, group, and community development using adventure-based strategies.
• Are curious and want to learn the “why” behind the “what.” Adventure Education courses involve a great deal of reading, writing, critical thinking, research, and analytical skills.
• Are committed to education as much as adventure. This includes academic motivation and a willingness to commit to additional hours outside of class including reading, writing, and engaging in group projects.
