Therapeutic Recreation & Management

Provo , United States

Therapeutic recreation and management (TRM) students specialize in the design, delivery, evaluation and management of therapeutic and transformative experiences. TRM students primarily focus on the use of recreation and other experiences as a treatment modality to help people with illnesses and disabilities improve functional behavior and quality of life while developing skills and abilities related to leisure and well-being. Therapists also help facilitate integration and inclusion for people with disabilities into all aspects of society. The foundational business courses provided by the therapeutic recreation and management program at BYU Marriott prepare students for upward mobility into leadership positions in healthcare and other related fields providing a unique competitive advantage over other programs across the country. Since 2005, the National Council on Therapeutic Recreation Certification (NCTRC) has ranked BYU Marriott’s therapeutic recreation and management program one of the top in the country in its preparation of students to pass the national certifying exam. This program fully prepares students to become Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialists (CTRS). Graduates of the therapeutic recreation and management program enjoy careers as recreation therapists in a variety of settings including centers for mental, behavioral, emotional or physical rehabilitation, assisted living centers, wilderness and adventure therapy programs, parks and recreation programs, schools, community centers, long-term care facilities, youth programs, and community-based recreation programs for people with disabilities. They are also well prepared for leadership and management roles in healthcare and other related fields and also prepared for challenging graduate programs in a variety of disciplines.
