ALPINE SCIENCE INSTITUTE

In the foothills of the Wind River Mountains, just outside of Sinks Canyon State Park is the Alpine Science Institute. The ASI is a multi-use educational and 娱乐al center designed for students who want to get outside and explore!

The ASI serves as a model for environmental stewardship featuring solar-paneled buildings, 回收计划, and a composting facility. 这是一种生活, learning field school for Outdoor Education, 户外休闲, 地理空间科学, 科学探险, and Regenerative Small Scale Farming. Open to the community, the ASI grounds feature hiking and 山地自行车 trails in addition to classroom facilities and student housing.

ASI Block Schedule and Learning Strategy

The ASI experiential learning strategy focuses on the integration of field-based skills with 户外教育ucation, environmental science, 和考古学. Students attend classes on an alternate Alpine Science Block Schedule. A four-week block at the beginning of the fall and spring semesters allows faculty and students to capitalize on ideal weather and environmental conditions to conduct fieldwork and other outdoor-related studies. The four-week block is followed by a more traditional 12-week schedule where students complete their classroom-based and general education classes.

ASI的伙伴关系 & 机会

ASI partners with institutions across the nation and beyond to provide additional opportunities for students as far away as the Alps and Andes. Other study environments include Gannett Peak, Grand Teton National Park, and Wyoming’s Wind River Range.
