The Adirondack Semester is a coordinated program for students who are concerned about environmental issues and want to get outdoors to learn about the region. The program is offered in the Fall semester, and includes multiple courses from different disciplines that share a common environmental studies emphasis. A highlight of the program, the Friday field trips in the Adirondacks, provide a great way to integrate the classes through applied learning.

The Adirondack Semester is open to all students, and is particularly appropriate for those interested in Potsdam’s Environmental Studies major or minor. The program fulfills several general education requirements and is limited to 20 students.
