Alleviate stress. Learn new skills. Stay in shape. Socialize. With the parks, recreation, and leisure studies major, you can help others do these things. The major is diverse, to say the least. What will you learn? You'll focus on the essential principles underlying leisure and recreational activities. This means getting detailed instruction in recreation leadership, area facility and design, philosophy of leisure, program and event planning, and marketing recreation enterprises.
