Recreation and Leisure Studies
Program Mission
The mission of the Recreation and Leisure Studies Program is to prepare students to deliver recreation and leisure services in a diverse society, to engage in research on leisure, and to foster a new generation of scholars who can do the same.
Program Vision
Recreation and Leisure Studies at the University of Georgia will be known for outstanding scholarship, leadership, and educational excellence in the areas of recreation administration, experienced based education, and the scholarly study of leisure. To that end faculty and students address the design, provision, and evaluation of recreation and leisure services that facilitate health, education, and well-being across the lifespan, and study the psychological and social dimensions of leisure. It is our belief that recreational contexts can foster positive growth and development, engage citizens in their communities, and promote understanding and respect for diversity.
