The program is flexible and student-focused and combines a solid foundation in management theory and practical knowledge with specialized courses in recreation.

The Bachelor of Recreation Management (BRM) is a degree completion program (third and fourth year of a bachelor’s degree) for students who have a recreation diploma or the equivalent (see Admissions Requirements) and who are interested in pursuing careers in the recreation field. The program is flexible and student-focused, and combines a solid foundation in management theory and practical knowledge with specialized courses in recreation. Students will work closely with recreation organizations, applying their knowledge to real-life situations as they learn.
The third and fourth year of the BRM can be completed in two years (six semesters) if taken on a full-time basis. As many of today’s students work full- or part-time, students have the option of completing the BRM on a full- or part-time basis. The program is designed to offer flexibility in delivery methods and all courses at the third- and fourth-year level are delivered online.
