Undergraduate college credit through Western State College is available for the Residential Program: 18 credits total (6 in Environmental Studies, 6 in Biology and 6 in Recreation), and these credits are transferable. There is more information on Western State College's website. If you have additional questions about college credit, please complete our request form.

Also, if you are currently enrolled at a college or university you may be able to work out a way to receive credit for our course through your own college or university. Several of our students have had success in doing so. Talking to an academic advisor at your school is a good way to start researching this option.

Past students have reported that the following schools have granted some form of credit for their Wilderness Awareness Residential Program experience. Students need to make their own arrangements.

Cornell University
Prescott College
Antioch University Seattle
The Evergreen State College
Humboldt State University
Mankato State University

Do I have to be working towards a degree or enrolled in a college/university to be part of the Residential Program?
Not at all. Many students are here just for the unique training that we have to offer and are not looking to receive college credit. Some students are finished with college and are augmenting their education with our course, while others are attending our course instead of a traditional college/university.
