Introduction

Restore health and well-being with a career as a recreational therapist

Use your skills to help improve/restore health and wellness. Small class settings, knowledgeable, friendly faculty, and hands-on learning.

Students learn to provide client-centered, strength-based therapeutic recreation services using the therapeutic recreation process. Students acquire the skills to complete client assessments and to develop, implement, and evaluate group and individual therapeutic recreation programs. A variety of facilitative techniques are explored in order to assist individuals to participate in meaningful recreation and leisure experiences that will achieve health-related goals, improve functional ability, and increase quality of life.
