“My favourite part about the Recreation and Sports Business program is the people. My classmates in first year became some of my best friends. The small class sizes allowed me to get to know everyone in my program and my professors really well. We have the best professors who really care about you and what your interests are beyond the classroom. I’m still grateful for the office hour chats and advice they gave me over the years, and I regularly leverage the different techniques I learned in class in my job.”
*Sport and Recreation Management was formerly called Recreation and Sport Business.
