This 25-credit certificate program provides students who are pursuing or have previously earned an undergraduate degree the opportunity to develop specialized skills unique to a variety of outdoor adventure and experiential activities, such as backpacking, rock climbing, canoeing, kayaking, and challenge-course facilitation.

The program provides options to attain certification as low and high element facilitators and Wilderness First Responders. Students completing the certificate requirements will be fully prepared to work as challenge course facilitators, work as instructors at Outdoor Education/Adventure Education organizations, and effectively integrate outdoor experiential programs with existing educational curricula.
The undergraduate certificate in outdoor recreation and experiential leadership may be pursued on a part-time basis.
A completed undergraduate certificate may be posted to the transcript only after completion of a bachelor’s degree.
