Students can also choose to minor in expeditionary studies and get the same experience of outdoor learning classes such as ice climbing and sea kayaking. Currently there are 12 students enrolled in the minor, which, unlike the major, still has openings for students considering joining.
"It's a well-developed, well-funded program that allows students to get out of the monotonous lifestyle of the class-to-class mentality," sophomore expeditionary studies major Dan Pond said. "It really develops the growth of character and helps educate through hands-on learning."
Students who have graduated from the expeditionary studies program, or with individualized studies majors with expeditionary studies backgrounds, are already experiencing success in their careers, Soroka said. One student is working in the national park service as a ranger, another as a trip leader in the Alaska back country.
Other occupations among students include work in field instruction, outdoor education and positions as entry-level guides.
