RECREATION
The Recreation program consists of two emphases of
study:
• Community/Commercial
• Outdoor Adventure Leadership
Completion of both emphases of study prepares
graduates to work in positions of leadership in a variety
of recreational service agencies. Prospective employers
include parks and recreation departments at the
city, county, district, and state levels as well as
voluntary youth agencies such as the YWCA/YMCA,
boys’ and girls’ clubs and scouting. Other areas of
employment include recreation programs in the
military, hospital, commercial, and worksite settings.
Students completing the Community/Commercial
emphasis are eligible to sit for the Certified Park and
Recreation Professional (CPRP) and after completing
two additional courses, the Certified Therapeutic
Recreation Specialist (CTRS) Certification Exams.
• A minor in Recreation is available to all students.
The minor is ideal for those majoring in EXHPR,
social work, sociology, and biology as well as for
students aspiring to teach in public/private
schools.
Recreation Emphasis Goals
• Provide students with a broad-based theoretical
foundation supported by field experiences that
facilitate individual observations, inferences, and
hands-on mastery of skills related to the field of
recreation.
• Prepare students to be life-long learners.
