The M.S. in Experiential Education at Minnesota State Mankato began in 1971 as a joint venture between the University and Minnesota Outward Bound School (now Voyageur Outward Bound School). It’s the oldest program of its kind in the United States.
As a student, you’ll be encouraged – even required – to leave the classroom and develop meaningful learning experiences for yourself. Whether your interest is outdoor programming, classroom teaching, administration, psychological interventions or another area, you’ll find opportunities to earn credit through experimentation and raw, direct experience in a variety of settings.
You’ll complement those experiences with careful thought and reason, through seminars and elective courses uniting practical skills with analysis and theory.
