Graduate studies in this field explore recreation and tourism as essential components of communities, economies, and ecosystems. The curriculum, investigations, and extension activities examine tourist and recreational behaviors, the functions of various organizations within tourism networks, tourism's impact on local and global community growth, and how leisure activities intersect with a region's ecological, agricultural, historical, and cultural assets.
The CSUS graduate curriculum caters to students passionate about sustainable communities, whether locally or globally. Generally, faculty, researchers, and graduate candidates in this program concentrate on community food systems, environmental conservation, leisure industries, educational outreach, and global development initiatives. These interconnected themes frequently intersect with sustainable travel practices and conservation area administration, which are central to the department's additional master's and doctoral programs. Our research extends to both national and international arenas, with many scholars focusing on global development challenges.
