The undergraduate program is accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Related Professions (COAPRT), which itself is accredited by the Council on Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA). This accreditation is important because according to CHEA, "Degree mills and accreditation mills mislead and harm. In the United States, degrees and certificates from mills may not be acknowledged by other institutions when students seek to transfer or go to graduate school. Employers may not acknowledge degrees and certificates from degree mills when providing tuition assistance for continuing education.
Through participation in this curriculum you will learn how to design, implement, and evaluate recreation programs, build networks with professionals working in this field, and engage in hands-on-service learning opportunities in collaboration with area leisure service agencies. We currently have two career paths, recreation administration and therapeutic recreation offered at both the undergraduate and graduate levels.
