Major Requirements

The course offerings in each major are designed to provide practical “hands-on” learning experiences with local agencies. By combining the concepts, skills, and perspectives of Sport and Recreation Professions courses with carefully selected courses, students may expect both to become focused in their chosen major and receive practical experience. Each major culminates in a semester-long internship, allowing students to continue their learning while applying their knowledge to “real-life” practice in a recreation agency of their choice.
