Westminster Field Studies
At Westminster, learning isn't confined to classroom walls—your faculty are dedicated
to providing opportunities for you to expand your education both on campus and beyond.
Through Westminster travel experiences, you'll get to apply your knowledge from the
classroom, express and discuss the ideas your travels inspire, and learn in an experiential
way, preparing you to fulfill your goals and dreams after graduation.
Don’t wait for graduate school or your first job to start doing what calls you—follow
your curiosity, discover yourself, develop your skills, and get more out of your education
against the backdrop of the American West.
Westminster Expedition
Embark on an adventure and hit the road for a semester-long journey. You’ll explore protected sites, contentious places, working landscapes, and communities from present-day Native American nations to "New West" towns. While you earn credits in either the Environmental Studies or History programs, you’ll learn from your interactions with the residents and experts you meet along the way, and through the courses that address issues at the heart of the contemporary West.
Outdoor Education and Leadership Field Semester
Spend an entire semester away from campus earning field experience that is essential to a career in the outdoor industry. When you leave Westminster, you’ll stand out to employers as a competitive applicant with developed, professional skills in backpacking, rock climbing, paddling, and canyoneering, as well as leadership, teaching, communication, decision-making, and risk management.
