THE DISCIPLINE:
Students in the Department of Recreation
Management and Youth Leadership may choose
an undergraduate emphasis from leisure
services management or therapeutic recreation.
A minor in non-profit management is also
available. Though the two emphasis areas
represent diverse and unique approaches, they
share the commitment to a service-oriented
profession that strengthens individuals, families,
and communities.
Depending upon the particular emphasis,
courses prepare students in the areas of
leadership and management skills, budgeting
and finance, program development, facilities
management, and current issues in the
recreation profession. Because of the nature of
the profession, course work may not be limited to
the Recreation Management and Youth
Leadership department. Course work in the
related disciplines of business, behavioral
sciences, health sciences, exercise sciences,
family sciences, and life sciences may be
required.
CAREER OPPORTUNITIES:
The curriculum will prepare students to provide
professional services designed to meet the
recreation, leisure and youth leadership needs of
communities, families and individuals.
Employment may be found in community
(municipal/government) recreation agencies;
private, commercial, industrial, educational, or
military recreation programs; youth-serving
agencies and Scouting; clinical treatment settings
(hospitals) or adaptive programs for people with
disabilities; state and national parks; and/or
educational settings.
For more information on careers in your major,
please refer to From Major to Career, a publication
which is located in all college advisement centers.
This handout is NOT a contract between Brigham
Young University and present or prospective
students. Although the university makes every
effort to ensure the accuracy of this information, it
reserves the right to make changes as university
business may require. Students should regularly

credits substantially increases the cost and the number of semesters to graduate.
