To accomplish their personal goals, students create their own course of study, some taking a incredibly varied course load all four years and some choosing to focus intensely on one discipline. While each student designs his or her own course of study, all students are required to take classes in our three resource areas: Arts and Design, Environmental Science, and Human Studies.

Students are also required to do a 400 hour internship and complete a term-long senior project. This allows them to experience a possible career firsthand, secure connections they can utilize after graduation, and create a lasting culmination of their studies at COA.

Internships and senior projects can vary dramatically from one student to the next. One student may work studying sea-birds on one of COA's islands and another may work at a school in Guatemala. One may create a small business plan and another may design an educational exhibit for the college's natural history museum.
