Curriculum
At Ecology Project International we believe that a person learns best by doing. Experiential learning at EPI means you and your students will work with scientists to help conserve biodiversity around the world while at the same time, completing an academic program.
You and your students will participate in experiential course work and hands-on research. Each student will conceive, develop, analyze, and present a field-based research project.

EPI offers academic credit through the University of Montana, Missoula for our university course and graduate-level credit for our educator courses. Our participants have also received credit from U.C. Santa Barbara and Coastal Carolina University for their work on EPI courses.
A majority of our partnering high schools provide credit for an EPI course. We work with a diverse range of sending institutions and this has taken many forms including lab credit, community service hours, International Baccalaureate units, and general science credits.
If you’d like assistance to accredit your course, please contact with as much lead-time as possible and we’ll work to make it happen.
