Why Outdoor Recreation Studies?
A minor in Outdoor Recreation Studies provides students with practical skills and knowledge for a variety of career choices. It also fosters a deeper appreciation for the environment and promotes skills in leadership and teamwork.
Montreat College’s Outdoor Recreation Studies (ORS) program is ideally located adjacent to Pisgah National Forest, close to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and within a two-hour drive of numerous climbing locations, four major wilderness areas, and several rivers with whitewater rated up to class five. This prime location enhances the program’s emphasis on developing students into competent outdoor leaders skilled in using outdoor environments for education, business/program administration, and ministry.
