About

The White Mountains Institute (WMI) at Plymouth State University celebrates the significant heritage of our region and creates a premier center for educational programming and research on the White Mountains. Through the Institute, PSU takes advantage of the spectacular outdoor laboratory around us and builds on our strengths in environmental studies and sustainability, eco-tourism, historic preservation, the arts, adventure education, and the advancement of culture and economic development in rural communities.

  • Undergraduate and graduate level coursework through out the year;
  • Professional development opportunities for K12 educators;
