As we've learned during the pandemic, recreation is vital for our mental, physical, emotional and social health-join us! Located in the SMS Department, the Recreation Management concentration focuses on finding ways to contribute to our individual and community health and wellness and that of our environment. From the management of parks and public spaces to the development and management of progr
ams that benefit people of all ages, this concentration studies everything from our history as a nation, to our governmental challenges, to how to reach people of all ages to leave a positive mark on our lives. If you want to be challenged both in the classroom and in real life (we almost always have a "real" hands-on project in class), this is the concentration for you! The faculty for the program have been engaged in state parks management, coaching, the development of recreation programs, environmental education, aquatic management, and recreation therapy. Students benefit from the development of strong relationships, challenges in the classroom, and by being ready for life outside the classroom.
