Graduate Program

Based in Grand Teton National Park, Teton Science Schools' Graduate Program develops leaders in place-based teaching, field science and experiential education. This innovative 50-week program integrates academic course work with intensive mentored teaching practicum. Educational goals and objectives allow our students to develop profound instructional skills and practical science knowledge. These are best exemplified through the four aspects of our mission:

People: Community creates the foundation of the graduate experience; the focus is built on learning, teaching and living intentionally.

Nature: Located in Grand Teton National Park and bordering Bridger-Teton National Forest, Teton Science Schools provide an unprecedented opportunity for field science and the study of ecological issues.

Place: Our 40 years of experience in environmental field science education follows the legacy of Olaus and Mardy Murie, Terry Tempest Williams, Gary Snyder and other visionaries who have touched or been touched by Teton Science Schools.

Education: Outstanding academic programs are coupled with over 600 hours of mentored teaching practicum in a variety of settings.
