Students are encouraged to think broadly about these options, as well as student exchange programs overseas.

They are able to lead, motivate, instruct and manage others; implement programs, skills in the planning and management of sport and recreation programs and facilities; effectively manage financial, personnel and physical resources; and effectively solve problems.
