Recreation and Leisure Studies

The course offerings in recreation and leisure studies are designed to provide meaningful and effective learning experiences for major and non-major students alike.

The interdisciplinary major in the recreation and leisure studies program should be of particular interest to students who anticipate careers in recreation professions. By combining the concepts, skills, and perspectives of recreation and leisure studies courses with carefully selected elective courses, students may expect to meet the intent of a liberal arts degree in addition to their career objectives in the recreation profession.

A combination of academic study and practical experience will provide the basis for the development of personal leadership, supervisory, and administrative skills.

Beginning with the fall 2005 semester, students must earn a grade of C or better in all REC-prefix core courses prior to starting their internship in Recreation & Leisure Studies (REC 403).
