Through opportunities for direct experience with clients with disabilities, the Bachelor of Science in Recreation program with a major in recreational therapy prepares students to assume positions as recreation therapy specialists.

Using a variety of techniques, including arts and crafts, animals, sports, games, dance and movement, drama, music, and community outings, therapists treat and maintain the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of their clients. Professionals assess individuals’ needs, plan and implement specific interventions to meet those needs, and document and evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions.

All students graduating from this program are eligible to sit for the National Council on Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) examination.
