The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies offers four-year programs of study leading to a Bachelor of Tourism Studies honours degree and a Bachelor of Tourism Studies. The requirement for graduation with a Bachelor of Tourism Studies honours degree is a minimum 70 percent major average and a minimum 60 percent non-major average in the remaining credits. The minimum major average for graduation with a Bachelor of Tourism Studies is 60 percent and a minimum 60 percent overall average. Students are also able to combine the Tourism Studies Degree with a Minor in International Studies. Students interested in pursuing the Minor in International Studies are required to follow the prescribed set of courses for the Minor outlined in International Studies section of the calendar.

The program offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of tourism. Students must select a program stream in either Tourism Administration or Tourism Planning and Development.

The Tourism Administration stream provides opportunities for students to pursue tourism careers such as supervisors and managers in: guest services, attractions, transportation, recreation facilities and travel services such as tour operations and travel agency management, visitor and convention bureaus, and is designed to qualify graduates for a wide range of positions in both the public and private sectors.

The Tourism Planning and Development stream is designed for students pursuing careers such as economic development officers, planning consultants in local organizations to multinational corporations and municipal, provincial or national government agencies. This stream combines elements of recreation and leisure studies, environmental studies and geography to examine aspects of tourism planning and development in depth.
