CUSTOMIZE YOUR DEGREE
One of the great things about having so many electives is that you can customize your degree by adding a minor, specialization, or option. These are available both within, and outside of, Recreation and Leisure Studies (i.e.: you could pursue a minor in Psychology if you wanted). You won't choose one of these until second year, but it's helpful to know what's available.
EVENT MANAGEMENT MINOR (8 courses)
Successful events, from summer festivals to sport competitions, are a critical aspect of the recreation and leisure industry. Set yourself apart with the skills to plan, implement, and assess events that make a huge impact on people and communities.
TOURISM MINOR (8 courses)
Investigate trends in the tourism industry, and the complex forces that influence tourism in Canada and around the world. Take classes with internationally renowned professors recognized for their expertise in market trends, tourism planning and policy, and tourism impacts.
PLUS, OTHER MINORS AND OPTIONS OUTSIDE OF RECREATION AND LEISURE STUDIES
Waterloo offers more than 40 areas of interest available to students from any major. Popular areas of interest outside of Recreation and Leisure Studies includes: Addictions, Mental Health, and Policy; Psychology; Human Resources Management; Entrepreneurship; Social Development Studies; and more.
