All students majoring in Recreation/ Leisure will be required to take a core of the same classes which will introduce them to the field of recreation and leisure. The core classes have been designed to provide students with pertinent management, leadership, and programming skills as well as an introduction to the philosophical discourse of the field. To complement the core, they will then choose a concentration in either outdoor recreation or tourism. Students in outdoor recreation will focus on practical applications of outdoor recreation and leadership development, wilderness expedition skills, and trip planning. Courses in tourism will provide students with practical skills in careers in hospitality management and destination marketing. In addition, students will apply critical analysis to problems in tourism development, and use these skills to complete intensive research projects. All students will be required to do an internship which will provide the opportunity to gain the experience necessary to work in a job related to their concentration.

All candidates for the bachelor's degree must complete the General Education Core of Courses, which totals 44 credits.
