the rigor of an introductory college-level course. Courses are

programs. Please visit www.earlham.edu/~eac for specific course offerings and descriptions.
AUGUST WILDERNESS (3 credits)
The 24-day August Wilderness experience in Utah (backpacking) or

observation and personal reflection. Course work in the history,
geology and ecology of the area is combined with facilitated
discussions on such topics as leadership, decision making, communication
and conflict resolution. Readings, journal writing, skills assessments
and essay assignments provide the basis for academic credit.
