Humboldt State University features an on campus fishery and one of the most diverse greenhouses in the state of California. Located in Arcata, a charming college town in the far north of California, Humboldt State is within reach of redwood forests, mountains, and beaches. Curricular offerings take full advantage of the region’s pristine natural environment, with certification offered in swiftwater rescue, wilderness first response, and wildfire management.
Outdoor clubs and outings include skiing, cycling, rock-climbing, boat sports, surfing, and many other courses centered around wilderness skills. Crew, logging sports, cycling, and archery all provide other club-related excuses to traverse the outdoors. The University’s Marine Lab is a few minutes drive north. Though if you’re just into exploring on your own, the rocky beaches of the NorCal coast and the Redwood National Forest are both just a few minutes away.
