The RSM program prepares students for professional employment in a variety of public, nonprofit, and private recreation and sport settings or graduate studies in the recreation and/or sport disciplines. The RSM major offers students a wide range of exciting career choices within many professional fields. Specialists in these areas manage recreation and/or sport activity facilities, supervise and plan indoor and outdoor recreation and sporting events, and develop recreation and sport services among diverse settings and populations.
The RSM curriculum responds to the growing number of students desiring to study management and leadership in either the recreation or sport fields. All RSM students complete a common core of study and through the use of program electives, have the ability to tailor their program of study around their career interests and goals. Program coursework aligns with the national standards and competencies of the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA) and/or the North American Society of Sport Management (NASSM). The program culminates in a semester-long internship in the field. |
