Pursue your passion while positively impacting others' lives by becoming a recreational therapist. This career path allows you to assist individuals managing illnesses and disabilities through activity-based treatments, promoting healthy leisure habits while building a fulfilling profession in community recreation and human services. The parks and recreation management bachelor's program with a therapeutic recreation focus qualifies graduates to pursue national certification via the National Council for Therapeutic Recreation Certification. https://www.nctrc.org
This curriculum develops skilled recreational therapists equipped to enhance clients' functional abilities and life participation. Students master assessment techniques, treatment planning, therapeutic implementation, and outcome evaluation while learning to design comprehensive programs, deliver individual/group services, and advocate effectively. Hands-on fieldwork builds essential competencies for delivering exceptional therapeutic recreation.
Ideal for those dedicated to community betterment, this program—one of only two in Arizona through the School of Community Resources and Development—specializes in community-based settings like youth programs and adaptive sports. It differs from the health-care focused recreational therapy bachelor's degree that emphasizes hospital and agency environments.
The program holds accreditation from the Council on Accreditation of Parks, Recreation, Tourism and Related Professions.
