The New England College Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Outdoor Education is an experiential education program in the outdoors, for the outdoors. You’ll develop leadership and facilitation skills in wilderness environments. Building a connection with the natural environment and becoming comfortable in outdoor settings will assist your growth as an outdoor educator and a wilderness leader. Through a series of experiential education coursework and skills-based courses, you’ll develop and build your educational and leadership abilities through backpacking, climbing, skiing, ropes courses, and more. You’ll enjoy many opportunities to explore your skill sets in a safe and supportive learning environment while developing a stronger, more self-reliant approach to leading groups and teaching in a variety of atmospheres, including the wilderness. Experiential education, civic engagement, and a strong connection to nature are embedded intuitively in this program. We’re passionate about preserving the natural environment through outdoor education opportunities. NEC is committed to these principles, and in the Outdoor Education program, you’ll lead by example.
