Wilderness First Responder Internship Experience

Catalog description

This course provides students the opportunity to gain real world experiences and a certification relevant to their academic and career goals in Outdoor Leadership. The Wilderness First Responder (WFR) certification is the industry standard in medical training for professionals who work and play in the outdoors and in wilderness settings. The Wilderness First Responder Internship Experience is an 80 hour 9-10 day course run through an outside provider (i.e., NOLS, SOLO, WMA). Upon successful completion of the WFR certification, students may earn one credit hour as an elective for the Outdoor Leadership Minor. Additional course charges apply (i.e., certification course fee, transportation to outside provider, lodging during the course, food, liability insurance, etc.) and must be arranged by the student. The charges vary depending on the provider and the location of the course. This course does not fulfill the HES GEP requirement.
