Testimonials
One of the most valuable experiences I had in my program was using critical thinking skills that were developed through course conversations and debates.
I can take my research out into the real world and implement it. I can feel confident in myself when doing research in the future.
"This graduate program challenged me in many ways. It pushed me out of my comfort zone. I have extensive knowledge regarding Recreation and Leisure Studies and feel more than confident in passing that onto my students."
