Completing a practicum
Here at Waterloo we believe that learning should go beyond the classroom. That's why many of our courses feature hands-on components.
All students who declare their major in Therapeutic Recreation will complete a practicum placement. A practicum gives you the chance to gain 105 hours of supervised experience in a therapeutic recreation setting, allowing you to gain important skills that will complement your classroom learning. Watch the video to learn more from Jacq, a current student and Laura, her supervisor (who also happens to be a graduate of Waterloo's Therapeutic Recreation program).
