The Community Recreation degree option is a generalist curriculum designed to prepare you for several management-based career options.  Public-sector recreation is comprised of municipal recreation and park agencies.  Military recreation (MWR) provides recreation opportunities for individuals and families serving in the Armed Services.  Graduates opting for this career area will not be members of the military, but civilian workers employed by the U.S. federal government.  The nonprofit sector of community recreation organizations is comprised of agencies like the YMCA, YWCA, Boys and Girls Clubs, religious organizations, Scouting, and quasi-government organizations organized as nonprofit agencies.
