UMD's Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) in Environmental and Outdoor Education (EOE) blends classroom learning with practical application. It prepares graduates for dynamic careers in outdoor recreation, nature-based learning, park & recreation management, adventure-based guiding, and related fields.
Students in the EOE program form relationships with their peers and our highly-engaged faculty. They explore a range of topics, including ecology; environmental interpretation; nonformal teaching methodology; risk management; and leadership and group dynamics in outdoor settings.
As one of the country’s longest-standing bachelor’s degree programs of its kind, we have developed robust relationships with local partners to extend learning outside the classroom and apply academic concepts in real-world contexts.
