The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies offers four-year programs of study leading to a Bachelor of Recreation and Leisure Studies Honours and a Bachelor of Recreation and Leisure Studies with Major. The Department also offers 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 Community Recreation program focusses on the various dynamics of leisure services provision within diverse and changing communities. This program encompasses issues related to management, community development, and the needs of constituents across a variety of sectors. This program allows students the flexibility to tailor their courses to meet specific professional and career aspirations.

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

The Inclusive and Therapeutic Recreation program prepares students to work with marginalized individuals (recent immigrants, people who experience poverty, people with disabilities and illnesses, older adults) using leisure to improve functional abilities and quality of life. The program focuses on issues related to building inclusive communities and assisting individuals to use leisure to achieve a healthy lifestyle and prepares students to work in community (Parks and Recreation Departments, Ys) and clinical settings (nursing homes, hospitals, rehabilitation centres). The Department of Recreation and Leisure Studies offers courses that can lead to achieving certification through the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC).
