ALPINE SCIENCE INSTITUTE

The ASI experiential learning strategy focuses on the integration of field-based skills with 户外教育ucation, environmental science, 和考古学. Students attend classes on an alternate Alpine Science Block Schedule.  A four-week block at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters allows faculty and students to capitalize on ideal weather and environmental conditions to conduct fieldwork and other outdoor-related studies.  The four-week block is followed by a more traditional 12-week schedule where students complete their classroom-based and general education classes.

ASI partners with institutions across the nation and beyond to provide additional opportunities for students as far away as the Alps and Andes. Other study environments include Gannett Peak, Grand Teton National Park, and Wyoming’s Wind River Range.
