The Bachelor of Science in Recreation Therapy equips students to design, coordinate, and oversee therapeutic recreational programs that enhance health and quality of life for people with disabilities or special needs. Graduates will qualify to pursue both California state and national certification in recreation therapy. Community college students planning to transfer should fulfill general education requirements beforehand. Recommended courses to complete at community colleges include H SC 150, BIOL 207, BIOL 208, and PSY 100 when available. Note that lower-division recreation courses from community colleges cannot replace upper-division requirements at the university level.
