It's a different take on "back to school."

Fall typically means new school supplies, a fresh class schedule and new teachers, and choosing to spend your fall with NOLS is no exception. Your new school supplies will be gaiters and hiking boots, your class schedule will include navigation and backcountry cooking, and your new teachers will be our skilled and experienced instructors.
Most of our fall courses are the length of a college semester, and are located across the globe, from Patagonia to the Rockies. On your NOLS semester you’ll learn about the ecology of your wilderness classroom while you earn natural history and other credits from the University of Utah. Your lab will be the outdoors, and the rivers and trails will be your syllabus.
If three months of outdoor living is more than your schedule will allow, you can still experience NOLS in the fall, whether you prefer backpacking in India or sea kayaking in Baja.
Fall Semester Courses
All NOLS semesters are broken into a series of expeditions, called sections. These sections run from two weeks to a month in length and cover a wide variety of outdoor skill areas. They are as varied as your desire to learn. This variety means you’ll leave your NOLS semester with a series of valuable outdoor skills and experience in a number of different environments.
