W&C is an inspiring experiential program exploring interactions between humans and Montana's wild places. W&C combines the strengths of classroom and field learning, offering interactive classes, dedicated faculty, and over 30 days in the field. Coursework is interdisciplinary, drawing on the perspectives of art, ecology, literature, policy, economics, and wilderness field skills. W&C offers students the opportunity to explore contemporary conservation debates, make connections between disciplines, and learn to cooperate to make positive change. Priority applications due: February 15. For more information, visit UM Wilderness Institute.
