National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS) Semester

The Department of Recreation Administration has an affiliate agreement with the National Outdoor Leadership School. This agreement allows a student to participate in a semester long NOLS course and receive 12-15 credits. Credits are awarded through the recreation program and count toward the major in recreation administration or the minor in outdoor leadership. Students that enroll in a NOLS semester course are charged a reduced tuition rate allowing all remaining financial aid to help pay for the NOLS course. Students will be enrolled in REC 32500 Outdoor Recreation and Leadership, REC 47200 Natural Resource Management, and REC 47600 Wilderness Institute. Student may also choose to enroll in REC 28200 Wilderness First Responder, depending on the selected NOLS course. NOLS courses are offered throughout the United States and in many locations around the world. Contact the chair of the Department of Recreation Administration for more information.
