Undergraduate program
The Bachelor of Science/Bachelor of Arts in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism offers three emphases allowing students to choose the area of study that best fits their interests. The minor requires less credits (approx. 18-19 credit hours), and therefore does not have an emphasis. The certificate program is a personalized program developed between the student and a mentor.
