Educational Opportunities

Check out the summer course offerings held at the Blakely Island Field Station in the San Juan islands. Most courses are 1- or 2-week intensives (3 or 5 credits) and the setting can't be beat. There is some financial aid available through the Field Station.

Seniors: since these courses are offered by Seattle Pacific University, you would receive content but not credit in transfer. It's an important distinction because the course would not count toward your senior residency. Please see your advisor if you have questions about this.

Are you interested in environmental advocacy and policy? 
Consider the Greenpeace Semester

The Greenpeace Semester is an incredible opportunity for you to learn what it takes to save the planet and gain experience to become environmental leaders on your campus and in your community.  So much more than an internship, the program combines a series of intensive workshops in a classroom setting with hands-on project and field experience, working side-by-side with Greenpeace staff.   You'll learn how to use grassroots organizing and strategic campaigning to win real victories for the planet.  You'll learn the latest information on critical issues as you work side-by-side experts on climate change, ocean protection, nuclear energy, forest conservation, toxic pollution, and corporate abuse of the environment.  The program is based at our Washington, D.C. headquarters.
