Outdoor Education Graduate Degree Program
Masters of Science in Outdoor Education
The University of New Hampshire is a leader in graduate education in the fields of outdoor and experiential education. Our graduates have gone on to run collegiate outdoor programs, pursue Ph.D.'s and join college faculty, design executive leadership programs, direct outdoor education centers, work in non-profit management, administer state and federal projects, lead international programs, and teach in K-12 schools in both the public and private sectors. Our program provides a strong foundation in the advanced theory and practice of outdoor and experiential education while also supporting students in their unique areas of interest. Master's students take advantage of broader university departments, programs and faculty to graduate as skilled practitioners and emerging leaders in the field.
The goal of the Master of Science program is to prepare outdoor experiential educators with the skills necessary to become managers and directors of outdoor/experiential education programs and/or to provide appropriate skills to pursue a related degree at the Doctoral level.
