[blue]Northwest Connections' Landscape and Livelihood Fall Field Semester immerses a small group of students in an intensive two-month field educational program focusing on ecology and community-based conservation. The program offers 15 semester credits from the University of Montana. Students learn experientially as they live and study the community and landscape of the glaciated Swan Valley and the rural human community it supports. Base camp for the semester is a historic homestead on the Swan River, nestled between two wilderness areas, 50 miles south of Glacier National Park. Northwest Connections' instructional philosophy recognizes the value of learning outside the traditional academic realm. Students are outdoors, in the field, every day of the semester. Students also work closely with rural citizens and land managers in order to understand the relationship between environmental issues and local communities. Landscape and Livelihood's residential program operates seven days per week, creating time for classroom lecture, field work, reading, reflective writing, journaling, and involvement in community activities. Fifteen semester credits are earned from the University of Montana in five separate courses in Environmental Studies; Geography; Recreation Management and Forestry. The Field Semester runs from September 1st - October 29th, 2008. Tuition includes: · Wilderness First Aid certification · Room and board · All course materials · Transportation during the semester A $500 tuition break is being offered to students who apply by February 1st, 2008.
