Typically these settings are either wilderness and back country, third world work or travel, or post major disaster.

A typical Paratus Institute course combines directed reading with interactive online materials to prepare the student, followed by a hands on field exercise to extend and cement the academic learning. This blended learning approach allows us to achieve a high degree of effectiveness, efficiency (both time and money) and flexibility in most of our offerings. |
