Chautauqua Short Courses
Welcome to the Pacific Northwest (UWA) Field Center of the Chautauqua Program We are offering 7 courses through the UWA Center during the summer of 2009. The venue for some of the courses will be the University of Washington campus in Seattle; however, several courses will be held at other sites in Washington, northern California, Montana, Alberta and North Carolina. The popular course in the Galápagos Islands will not be held in January 2010, but in May 2010. Courses are listed below in chronological order. Further course details, including course abstract, course outline and specific logistical information, can be found for each by clicking on the course title. Information on this website is updated frequently Further general information, including travel and lodging options for the Seattle region, can be found at Although there is no current external funding for the Chautauqua professional development program, the major regional centers are committed to continuing to offer relevant courses in 2009 and beyond. Additional fees are applicable for most courses this year in order to provide stipends and expenses to course directors. The planned UWA course schedules for Summer 2009 are posted below. The printed brochure used in previous years has been discontinued in favor of web-based advertising of all courses. Please note that the University of Massachusetts no longer has a national management role with Chautauqua.
Fees
There are three types of fees, all of which are payable by check to “Chautauqua Program” and sent to Dr. Tony Irving at the address below. All courses have a $50.00 application fee, most courses have a course fee this year, and some field-based courses also have a logistical fee to cover group lodging, some meals and van transportation. As in the past, travel and lodging to attend Chautauqua courses are the responsibility of each participant.
