Summer Programs

Summer sessions are an excellent opportunity for students to take required core classes, earn additional credit hours toward graduation, improve their grade-point averages, earn academic credit and gain valuable life and intensive learning experiences.

The off-campus courses expand our students' knowledge by providing firsthand experiences in outdoor classrooms and strengthening their resume to aid in landing jobs.

The RPTR program has been offering summer courses at the national and international level for Chile. RPTR has offered study abroad programs to Peru, Nepal, and Fiji, where students have learned about each locations culture, way of life, and recreation, parks and tourism systems while enjoying each locations scenic beauty. These field courses are fun, educational and experiential. The RPTR program prides itself on its unique, diverse and interactive summer programs. For additional information, contact the RPTR program at WVU. The Faculty and staff of WVU have led expedition to Patagonia in both 2006 and 2007. Participants have experienced the Andes Mountains while learning first hand about protected area management and sustainable tourism development in the region.
