The PhD represents the highest academic achievement in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism studies. This rigorous program equips students with advanced research capabilities through intensive exploration of subjects within and connected to this field. The curriculum combines a Parks, Recreation, and Tourism major with a specialized concentration area and a research component culminating in a dissertation. Earning a PhD in PRT demands at least 67 semester hours of graduate work after completing a master's program. Course requirements vary depending on each student's background, professional goals, academic record, and prior experience in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism. Typically, candidates complete the PhD program in about three years of full-time study following their master's degree.
