Hello from Wildlands Studies!
Would you love a class materials list that included hiking boots, a waterproof field journal and
flashlight? Over 1000 students have joined our field study teams in the past five years with those
requirements (and a few more). The consistent feedback is that field-based learning brings classroom
studies to life. It’s an experiential layer that contributes to a deeper understanding of your major and
adds depth and meaning to what you’re learning in the classroom.
This coming year we teach field courses in 16 locations over 13 countries: Ecuador, Tasmania,
Thailand, Chile, Costa Rica/Panama, South Africa, Iceland, Belize, Nepal, New Zealand, Peru, Banff
(Canada), Yellowstone (Montana), Big Sur and the California Channel Islands.
Academically rigorous, each outdoor study program earns 5-15 quarter credits and features almost 300
hours of direct contact and instruction with PhD or MS credentialed faculty who are subject matter
experts with a deep passion for their topics. Our programs are for students in environmental studies
and related fields who know that a field based course will advance their degree, improve their ability to
get a job and increase their options for graduate school.
We are currently accepting applications for all our 2018-2019 programs and there is still space in
our Winter and Spring 2018 programs to Chile, Thailand, Ecuador, South Africa, Australia,
Costa Rica and Panama.
Applications are on our website: http://www.wildlandsstudies.com/index.php/enrollment-instructions

I encourage talking with your advisor and joining. We will look forward to seeing you on a project, and help in
the effort to solve critical problems facing our wildlands and wildlife populations.
