This undergraduate minor prepares graduates from non-recreation management majors with the knowledge and technical skills to balance sustainable resource management with equitable recreational access and demand in parks, outdoor recreation, and other land management contexts. Graduates of the minor will be able to analyze issues related to resource overuse and visitor impacts and apply impact management principles to develop sustainable visitor use management plans. Graduates of the minor will also be able to contribute their expertise to local, regional, state, and federal natural resource management challenges and conversations related to equitable and sustainable natural resource recreation.
Eight credits of coursework must be unique to the minor and students must complete all coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.00. For policies governing all minors, see AP.5.3.4 Minors.
