Outdoor Education Institute

The Outdoor Education Institute is a part of the Department of Health and Kinesiology in the College of Education. The Institute’s primary function is to facilitate the education of people interested in the use of the out-of-doors for experiential education. This function is achieved through departmental courses offered for degree credit and through special workshops and trips. All institute programs are experiential. They take place outdoors and are based on the premise that people learn best by doing. The institute attempts to integrate both the adventure and environmental branches of outdoor education.

Students may take outdoor education courses that will enhance their particular undergraduate or graduate degree. The interdisciplinary design allows students from a variety of departments to pursue outdoor education, which can increase career options by complementing rather than competing with existing academic majors.

The Outdoor Education Institute offers customized outdoor experiential learning programs for a wide variety of groups (including those outside of the University). For more information, please contact the Outdoor Education Institute located in Room 216, G. Rollie White Coliseum at (979) 845-3758, or via email at cbunting@tamu.edu.
