Overview

The Parks and Recreation Management program offered by University of North Carolina Greensboro requires 36 credit hours, with at least one-half the work credited toward the degree in 600-level courses or above, an overall average of B (3.0), or better, and successful completion of a capstone experience (thesis, project, internship).

The student, after discussing his/her career goals with his/her advisor, may choose either the thesis or non-thesis option. However, if the student selects the non-thesis option, the advisor will determine (based on amount of professional experience) whether the student does a project, internship, or both. For example, a student choosing the non-thesis option and having minimal professional experience will be required to do an internship or an internship and project.

Mission

The Department of Community and Therapeutic Recreation prepares recreation, park, and leisure services professionals to enhance health, wellness, and quality of life among individuals and communities through excellence in teaching, research, and community engagement.
