The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies offers a four-year Honours and a three-year Pass program leading to a Bachelor of Recreation and Leisure Studies. The program is designed to qualify graduates for a wide range of positions in the rapidly expanding field of leisure services.

The General Recreation program allows students the flexibility to develop their own program to meet specific needs in the workplace (e.g., management, administration, entrepreneur) or to combine interests rather than focusing on one. Courses can be chosen from the general recreation course base as well as from any of the specialized areas.

The Outdoor Recreation program concentrates on recreation and the natural environment. It encompasses ecotourism, resource management, adventure, parks management, heritage interpretation, outdoor education, leadership and wilderness pursuits. This program prepares students to facilitate outdoor experiences following a conservation ethic.

The Inclusive Recreation stream focuses on issues related to building inclusive communities and prepares students to work with marginalized individuals in the community (recent immigrants, people who experience poverty, people with disabilities).

The Therapeutic Recreation stream focuses on the therapeutic use of leisure to prevent disabilities and illnesses and improve individuals' functional abilities. This program prepares students to work in clinical settings (nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centres).
