Pursue Recreation Administration

  • Recreation Management majors desire to create and manage leisure events and activities for people to enjoy. Often inspired by their own experiences at camps, parks, and resorts, students want to discover their fit within a team of people who make live-giving moments happen.
  • Recreation Management majors are trained to think broadly and act practically within the recreation/leisure industry. Since Sport Management is at the intersection of Physical Fitness, Business Administration, and behavioral science majors can take some of these courses to gain the practical skills and insights into people they need to navigate this industry well.
  • This degree can be completed fully online or with a mix of on-campus and online courses.
