Call for Courses

The School of Extended & Lifelong Learning (SELL) at The University of Montana welcomes proposals for unique, 2-5 day field courses featuring Montana’s unique landscape, natural resources, and cultural heritage. Possible course topics should include ecology, geology, geography, wildlife, climate change, glaciers, paleontology, Montana history, archaeology, cultural anthropology, land management, and anything that relates to the beauty and mystery that is Montana.  All proposals that feature Montana and what is unique to Montana will be considered.  However, Experience Montana courses are not simply  guided tours; they are educational opportunities with an outdoor component; short field courses designed for an adult audience.  Both UM faculty and experts from all around Montana are encouraged to propose courses.

If you are interested in proposing an Experience Montana course, complete the Non-Credit Course Proposal Form and submit it along with your resume, syllabus or course outline, and preliminary plans for meals and accommodations. Course proposals and other materials may be submitted by email (candi.merrill@umontana.edu) or in hard copy form to:
