IND-305.2 Winter Wilderness Experience
The Winter Wilderness Experience (WWE), an
off-campus program based in the Sawtooth
Mountains of Stanley, Idaho, is a team-taught,
interdisciplinary, place-based, and experiential
examination of environmental issues. WWE focuses
on public land policy, cultural geography,
creative writing, winter ecology, wilderness
studies (literary, historical, and
philosophical), and backcountry skiing. Students
take a 2-credit preparatory course during the
Fall term before the 4-credit Winter course.
Three credits from WWE are equivalent to the
ENV-200: Nature and Culture. As determined by the
instructors in consultation with each student,
the remaining 3 credits of WWE can apply to
either the Creative Writing or Social Science
electives within the Environmental Studies major.
Permission to enroll in WWE is determined by
formal applications as well as personal
interviews.
Prerequisites: IND-305.1 and Instructor
permission.
