The educational objective of this curriculum is to provide our graduates with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to handle a wide array of professional opportunities now available in resource-based recreation and tourism.
Students receive a solid educational foundation by studying natural resources and their management.
This is coupled with courses in the human dimensions of resource use, including a strong emphasis in communication and business. In addition, experiencing outdoor recreation and tourism is emphasized as well as learning firsthand about its management. The B.S. in resource recreation and tourism prepares qualified students for advanced degrees in most recreation resource, park and recreation, or tourism graduate programs.
