REFINE YOUR LEADERSHIP SKILLS,
TAKE THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME OR PREPARE
FOR A CAREER IN OUTDOOR EDUCATION.
WE HAVE A COURSE FOR YOU!
LEARN TO LEAD
Leadership is what sets NOLS apart from the rest. All NOLS
courses will teach you the skills to lead others long after you’ve
graduated, but these courses give students the greatest chance to
put their leadership skills to work with numerous student leaderof-the-day
and independent student travel opportunities.
MASTER SKILLS
Since 1965 people have come to NOLS to learn the skills they need
to climb mountains, run rivers, and ski deep backcountry powder.
Our extended expedition format means you’ll have time to truly
master the skills you learn. NOLS is the premier skills school and
these courses give you what you need to be a competent, responsible
wilderness enthusiast.
ADVANCE YOUR CAREER
Get outdoors and get paid for it. These courses are designed for
classroom teachers who want to expand the traditional classroom,
outdoors people who want to develop their teaching skills, and
students from college outdoor education programs.
WANT MORE?
Three to five months of outdoor living, college credit, and much
more. The outdoor semester and the outdoor year are uniquely
NOLS. Spending several months as a part of an expedition means
you’ll be both a leader and an active follower, practicing communication,
conflict resolution, and decision-making. You will return
home changed. Most students on NOLS semesters or years come
on hiatus from their college campus or as a gap year between high
school and college. Adult learners are also taking a longer NOLS
experience as a time-out between careers.
Having trouble deciding? We have NOLS grads standing by to
answer your questions. Call 1-800-710-NOLS or log on to www.nols.edu
to chat with our admissions officers and student service representatives.
