National Outdoor Leadership School

NOLS Semester

Lindenwood University has an affiliate agreement with the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS). This agreement allows students to enroll in 12-15 credit hours through the Recreation Administration department at Lindenwood while completing a semester with NOLS. Students are also able to use appropriate financial aid to help pay for the NOLS semester course. Please note that financial aid will only cover a portion of the cost.

Students will be enrolled in the following courses through the Department of Recreation Administration:

• REC 32500 Outdoor Recreation and Leadership (3)
• REC 47200 Natural Resource Management (3)
• REC 47600 Wilderness Institute (6)

If a student enrolls in the NOLS semester which includes the Wilderness First Responder certification, students may enroll in REC 29200 Wilderness First Responder for an additional 3 credits. Credit hours completed through the NOLS semester can be applied to the Recreation Administration Outdoor Recreation emphasis, Outdoor Leadership minor, or electives in general recreation.

For more information contact the Chair for the Department of Recreation Administration.
