I teach WW kayaking for the University of Georgia, but it's part of the
outdoor rec program, not for credit. I took a for credit canoe course as
an undergraduate at Michigan State, but that was 30 years ago. I think the
Univeristy of Minnesota--Duluth offers for credit WW kayaking. They have a
nice center out on the <name-escapes-me> river near Carlton.

Keep us informed. Maybe we can start a trend.
