Minors
The CORE curriculum fulfills most of the requirement for the minor offered through Recreation, Park, and Tourism Studies.
The Outdoor Recreation and Resource Management minor can be earned by taking
- R160 Foundations of Recreation and Leisure and
- R271 Dynamics of Outdoor Leadership. (Those pursuing Recreation and Resource Management minors are highly encouraged to take R271 before participating in CORE).
Our program curriculum does not allow for any other courses to be taken during the CORE spring semester, so please plan ahead with your advisor if you would like to pursue the minor listed above.
