Why Minor in Recreation?
The minor in recreation focuses on professional skills in assessing the recreational needs of a community, planning and implementing programs to meet the needs for diverse populations and evaluating program effectiveness.
Prior to the completion of this program, students complete a 200-hour field experience with a recreation agency. Through Northwest’s partnerships with local agencies and businesses, these hours can be completed in Maryville.
