The (OLER) program at San Juan College is designed to provide an Associate of Arts Degree in Outdoor Leadership with a variety of transfer options. OLER classes are not limited to degree seeking students,. Faculty/Staff and community members are welcome and encouraged to participate in the classes.
The Associate of Arts Degree in Outdoor Leadership Program combines general education requirements with a core group of field based classes in outdoor leadership and recreation. These classes are experiential in nature, meaning that you will learn the skills through participation in various activities. Although these classes are lots of fun, you will learn a great deal about yourself, your peers, the educational value of the experience, and how you can become an effective professional in the field.
