The primary goal of a career in public recreation is to enhance people’s quality of life through recreational opportunities, leisure activities, classes, and community gathering opportunities. This field of study prepares students for careers in parks and recreation agencies, hospitality and tourism venues, and non-profit organizations.

A BSc (Bachelor of Science) is an undergraduate degree that prepares students for a career in their field of study. While the degree is often related to courses in the realm of science, students in non-science fields can also earn a BSc.
