The Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science degree programs in the Department of Recreation, Parks and Tourism prepare students for professional leadership roles in municipal park and recreation agencies, youth-serving agencies, commercial for-profit facilities, health care and rehabilitation agencies, correctional institutions, churches and religious-affiliated agencies, camping and outdoor settings, federal and state governmental units, resorts, adventure travel, and commercial recreation agencies.

The undergraduate program is accredited in the option areas of tourism and recreation management and recreation therapy by the National Council on Accreditation for Park, Recreation and Leisure Services. In addition, courses in the recreation therapy option plus an internship and recommended electives meet eligibility requirements to take the national certification examination from the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification.

Students entering the program of study should recognize that their progress will be closely monitored from an academic and professional perspective. It is the intent of the department and program for students who graduate to reflect professional knowledge and skills in order to be successful in Recreation, Parks and Tourism.
