DescriptionDiscover how to enhance quality of life by improving physical, social, and mental health. In Recreation, Leadership, and Health, you'll learn how well-designed recreation programs can foster inclusivity and build healthy communities. You'll learn how to plan, manage, and deliver recreation programs for all kinds of people - and thanks to field trips, hands-on learning, and practicum opportunities, that learning goes way beyond the classroom. Throughout your degree, you'll strengthen your leadership, communication, and teamwork skills, and learn to apply a social justice lens to your work to become an inclusive and innovative leader. With 12 elective courses, you can easily combine your interests in recreation with other areas of study or even do a double major. Through Waterloo's co-op program, you'll earn money, have access to North America's largest selection of co-op jobs, and graduate with up to 2 years of valuable work experience.
