Live a semester as a resident explorer, entrepreneur, environmental scientist, poet and policy advocate of the Adirondack Park, one of the largest protected landscapes in North America. Become absorbed and committed, and think bigger and work harder than you ever have to create intelligent solutions in a six-million acre laboratory for wildlife, small town communities, and recreation enthusiasts a
like. Offered in both spring and fall semesters, a small group of up to 10-12 students are in session with a diverse group of Clarkson faculty with specific interests, experience and scholarly work directly related to the Adirondack Park. Through interdisciplinary coursework our students gain critical thinking and collaboration skills that prepare them to analyze complex problems and provide solutions related to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Each semester five 3-credit courses provide 15 transferable, 300 level credits. Our courses are recognized by Clarkson’s Common Experience and offer University courses, Knowledge Areas, Communication Points and a Science Technology credit. Design Credits for Environmental Engineering students are offered as well.
