The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies is a division of the Faculty of Health
Students in Recreation and Leisure Studies honours or general plans may choose to complete a minor as part of their degree.
A minor is typically a group of eight to ten courses (0.5 unit each) offered by another department.
Some minors have required courses as part of the minor requirements in addition to a minimum average requirement for the minor courses, while others are open to any courses in that subject area.
Consult the Undergraduate Calendar for specific requirements for the department in which you plan to obtain a minor. Students considering Faculties of Education (Teachers' College) at the high school level often complete a minor for their first teachable subject.
You can view the available minors that are offered across the university grouped by area of interest on the Future Students webpage.
