The field of Parks, Recreation and Tourism is growing as the nation becomes increasingly concerned about balancing the public's desire for recreation with the need for both economic and environmental sustainability. Simultaneously, the The Rubenstein School's research and computer modeling on national park use and crowding has gained national media attention. Parks, Recreation and Tourism blends studies of the environment, environmentally-based tourism, and outdoor recreation to train students to become leaders in ecological management practice. Students may specialize in Public Outdoor Recreation or Private Outdoor Recreation and Tourism. Public recreation resources include parks, forests, wilderness areas, and other outdoor recreation environments at the local, regional, state, and federal government levels. Private resources include ski areas, campgrounds, resorts, and other natural resource-based recreation facilities. For more information, contact Program Director Walter Kuentzel 802-656-0652.
