What our graduates say

"I've particularly found the Recreation Program helpful because it has a lot of components such as business: how to program; how to do facility development; how to make presentations. The program is very applicable to municipal settings. It is things like budgeting, development and working with diverse populations that gives you a lot of great things to go into the field with."

- Gerald Mirecki, BRS

The Bachelor of Recreation Management and Community Development program trains students to be recreation professionals who understand the value and benefits of recreation and leisure and who are prepared to make a difference in their community.
