A sponsored GEO program, Wildlands Studies field project programs offer the rare opportunity to study critical environmental and wildlife concerns on six continents and sixteen different countries. Nomadic by design, the field-based courses evolve annually to match the latest ecological research of the region. Academically rigorous, each outdoor study program earns 15 UO credits, features direct contact and instruction with Ph.D. credentialed faculty who are subject matter experts, contributes directly to your cumulative GPA, and UO financial aid will apply. Students come from all over North America to form small teams of 8-16, perfect for sharing energy, responsibilities, and discoveries. The overarching goal is for students to leave our programs with extensive knowledge about a specific region and the broader skills of ecological, geological, and social sciences needed to effectively pursue their future careers.
These projects are in generally remote locations and include strenuous hiking and backpacking. Applicants are urged to read the specific program descriptions thoroughly and to consider their own experience and circumstance. Also, see the Wildlands FAQ.
***GEO does not sponsor the US-based Wildlands Studies locations and programs.
