Recreation and Leisure Studies
Recreation Management Emphasis
The concentration in Recreation Management is a generalist curriculum designed to prepare the student for several management based career options.
Public-sector recreation at the municipal or state level is comprised of village, town, county and state recreation and park agencies.
Even though military recreation is public-sector as it is government, it should be categorized separately. Military recreation provides recreation opportunities for individuals and families serving in the armed services. Individuals opting for this career area are not members of the military, but are civilian workers employed by the federal government.
The nonprofit sector of recreation organizations is comprised of agencies like the YMCA, YWCA, Boys/Girls Clubs, religious organizations, and quasi-government organizations organized as nonprofit agencies. Additionally, many organizations providing recreation opportunities for individuals with disabilities are nonprofit.
The commercial sector is made up of several components, including resort and tourism, industrial recreation, and small-business offerings.
