Students who major in recreation administration at SDSU select one of two areas of emphasis: outdoor recreation or recreation systems management. (A new emphasis in Sustainable Tourism Management is being planned for 2007.)

Outdoor Resource Management
Outdoor recreation stresses conservation, natural science, ecology and recreation administration. Society's efforts to sustain a balance between the environment and recreational use are studied.

Recreation Management
Recreation systems management stresses the effective organization, administration, and supervision of recreation, park and tourism agencies, both public and private.
