Average Course Rating

This course is a leadership-intensive seminar and expedition focused on helping students develop their own leadership capacity, while also emphasizing a conceptual understanding of leadership in diverse settings. The course utilizes the unique opportunity for leadership development embedded in outdoor experiential education, providing students the challenge of serving as a leader during an adventure expedition, and helping students reflect on this challenge to develop their own conceptualization and practice of leadership. The course combines a thorough academic introduction to leadership development and opportunity for self-assessment with repeated reflection and feedback to help students develop their own path as leaders. Notes: There is an additional course/program fee of $2200 for this course (in addition to the cost of tuition). The program fee covers all in-country lodging, meals, transportation and activity expenses throughout the course. Students are also responsible for their own roundtrip international airfare to/from the course site (Norway). This is a physically demanding course. Students should be in moderate physical condition and must be able to walk for 5-6 hours/day with regular breaks for rest, food and water. However, no technical outdoor skill or experience required - this is beginner friendly.
