The Program offers a Bachelor of Science degree in Recreation Administration
for individuals committed to the recreation, parks, tourism, and leisure
services profession. As a faculty, we believe self-determined, full engagement
in leisure provides a valuable foundation for a high quality of life for
all people. Opportunities are provided by government, non-profit, and commercial
entities.
The recreation, parks, tourism, and leisure field comprises the second largest
industry in the United States. Fresno State graduates have successfully secured
professional positions in hospitals, centers for people with disabilities, and rehabilitation
facilities; recreation directors in schools, churches, youth agencies, detention
centers, cities, and counties; state and federal recreation agencies, tour companies,
convention and visitor bureaus, special event companies, outdoor adventure companies,
resorts, membership clubs, armed forces recreation services, and other organizations.
