What is unique about this program at the U of M?

Testimonial “I’ve particularly found the Recreation Program helpful because it has a lot of components such as business; how to program; how to do facility development; how to make presentations. The program is very applicable to municipal settings. It is things like budgeting, development and working with diverse populations that gives you a lot of great things to go into the field with.” Gerald Mirecki, B.R.S.
